What I Visualized

# To better analyze the data I transformed in OpenRefine, I uploaded the [CharlotteClean](https://cases.umd.edu/user/mialsteinle/doc/tree/mialsteinle/Data/CharlotteClean.csv) csv file into Tableau Public and began creating data visualizations. These are my findings: # # * There were 71 churches in Charlotte in 1911, include 41 white churches and 30 Black churches. # * While Charlotte's human population was 34% Black, its church population was 42% Black. # * Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist congregations comprised 70% of all churches. # * Methodist was the most common denomination among Black congregations, while Presbyterian was the most common denomination among white congregations. #

What I Couldn't Visualize

# While I did query the data for places of worship other than churches, I didn't find any. But that's not to say there no people practicing non-Christian religions in Charlotte in 1911. # # My research lead me to directories — similar to the Charlotte City Directory — of Jewish organizations in the United States in the early 20th century. The _[American Jewish Yearbook](https://archive.org/details/americanjewishye5671adle/mode/2up)_, which is available on the Internet Archive, shows us that Charlotte was home to a Jewish organization in 1910 called the Hebrew United Brotherhood. This organization got a building and became the city's first synagogue in 1916. If we look at the [1922 Charlotte City Directory](https://archive.org/details/charlottenorthca1922pied), we can see a listing for the Hebrew United Brotherhood listed under the directory's "Associations and Societies" section. The information is there, but only if you know to look for it. #
