Description

My map, generated by Social Explorer, shows the racial composition of the South End. Each dot represents one individual, and the various colors of the dots indicate the different races. I have included a legend to determine which color represents which race. I have outlined the boundaries of the South End, as well as highlighted Tremont Street and Shawmut Avenue, the main two roads which I explored during my walk. I have also included in the map pinpoints of where I found cigarette packages as litter throughout the neighborhood; this was one indicator that I counted during my neighborhood walk. Each point is labeled either Camel, Winston, or Newport, referring to the brand of the cigarette package. Because there is a racial preference for different cigarette brands, as my paper discusses, this indicator provides insight to the racial composition of the neighborhood as well as the extent to which the neighborhood is racially segregated and/or integrated.

My photo is of a Newport brand cigarette package littered on the corner of Shawmut Avenue and Worcester Street.
