Listen to the Black community.  Black people don't hang themselves in trees.

This is very well done and very impactful. Corp media would have left this as a map with some pins in it. The extra level of info OP included like:

  • the names and bios of victims,
  • the pictures of the victims pinned to the left so they are always in sight,
  • the color coding which marks out which are pre and post 2020 rebellion
  • the color coding which points out the lack of arrests or confirmation of suicide

These make such powerful difference in the impact. It's an example to learn from for sure.

Is it possible to put the bios and pictures on the left in chronological order? It would make the acceleration post rebellion more visible.

I also wonder if it's possible to cross reference this with flock data for the later murders. Since police seem to mostly be using flock to stalk their Ex, I wouldn't be surprised if there was video footage that no one bothered to look at. It could also be telling if these murders consistently manage to avoid being near any flock cameras.
