"Bob Moses' work to organize Black voters in Mississippi in the early 1960s famously transformed the political power of communities. Nearly forty years later, Moses is organizing again, this time as a founder of the national math literacy program called the Algebra Project. Through personal narrative and impassioned argument, Moses teaches the lessons of the civil rights era and shows them at work in a remarkable movement today, where students are demanding math literacy eduacation as a key to economic and civil equality."
