MBC’s Storytelling projects center the lived experiences and voices of Black Californians, using narrative, oral history, and imagery to bring data and research to life on a human scale.
Moreno Valley is a vital yet overlooked chapter in the story of Black migration to the Inland Empire, and through oral histories from past and present residents, The Blackest City maps lives built through family, faith, work, and community, affirming a shared vision for a thriving, inclusive future.
This map and StoryMap combines data visualization and narrative storytelling to humanize the impact of the Black Equity Fund in the Inland Empire, showing where the region’s Black community is excelling and where systemic need still exists.
This map reveals how access to grocery, convenience, and liquor stores is unequally stratified by income throughout San Bernardino City, shaped by broader factors like poverty, racist infrastructure, unaffordable housing, and limited transportation access.
