Tiana's Bio

Hi my name is Tiana Galloway. I am a second-year PhD student in history, getting my master's in Public History. I am from Raleigh, NC. My interests lies in African American sports history. I am especially interested in sports today, I love watching various sports and attending USC sports events. My favorite teams are USC women's basketball, Duke men's basketball, University of Oklahoma football, and San Francisco 49ers. I am taking this course to fulfill my language requirement, however I am super interested in GIS. Over the summer I used Arcgis to tell the story of barber and beauty shops in Columbia in the mid twentieth century, which I may or may not expand upon for my project this semester.

HOLC Redlining and 2010 Census Race Demographic Map

For my map, I am exploring the 2010 race demographics of Durham, North Carolina and the redlining done in the United States. With this map I can conclude that many of the hazardous/less desirable areas happen to be where most Black people (blue) are located in Durham in 2010. It is also apparent that where most of the white population (red) is not hazardous or may be declining slightly. One of my biggest drawbacks from this map is that we cannot see how population has changed over time. An area that may have been predominantly one race may have changed overtime, especially when thinking of the gentrification happening in Durham. In some parts there seems to be less desirable areas that are predominantly white, is interesting to ask the question whether the race demographics have changed over time. I think that this could be strengthened by adding layers of the map that show different times maybe we could see what the race demographic was like in the 1960s or something similar. Thi...

Arcgis Pro Introduction Map

For my map I decided to look at the birthplace of people as they have maybe traveled throughout the United States. Like we have seen in class there are some inconsistencies with the map/data. As you will see in each map, there is complete data missing. But first let's take a look at my map on North Carolina born citizens in 1880. This map explores people that are born in North Carolina according to the 1880 census. It is clear that there are people that are living along the railroad line the are from North Carolina. But what I find interesting is how many people are going West and South. What is striking to me is that not many North Carolinians are living in central South Carolina in 1880. I believe that may be inaccurate based on data because it is the only Southeastern state that does not have North Carolinians all over. There is also a blurb in central Indiana where many North Carolinians are living in 1880. I am unsure as to why or how because there is not a connection w...
