African Sister Cities Map
The African Sister Cities Map was created using Carto and the basemap created in MapBox. The map illustrates how the Africa enriches American's Daily lives by highlighting the economic, political, social, and cultural ties to the 15 featured U.S. Cities. When you click on a city's marker, a custom side panel comes from the left to help illustrate the ties between said city and the African influences it holds as well as pertinent information. Several cities also contain links to other publications going into further detail on the connection and influence between the city and African sister city.
