Initiative

In early 2022, as travel finally started to open back up, niche travel brand Black & Abroad was eager to re-ignite the conversation about Black travel and yearned for a follow-up to their globally recognized “Go Back to Africa” campaign with something equally as provocative. Enter The Black Elevation Map: an immersive digital experience that takes 330,000,000+ points of cultural data, such as Black population data, historical markers, Black-owned businesses, and social media activity, and visualizes it as points of interest on a dynamic, searchable elevation map of the US.
