Today's African-American students have more opportunities to engage with mathematics than any of their predecessors had. Yet there are powerful headwinds: lingering racial prejudice and internal cultural resistance to math and STEM in the community, are just two. JOURNEYS OF BLACK MATHEMATICIANS: FORGILNG RESILIENCE explores the pioneering stories of prominent Black scholars, scientists and educators, showing how the challenges they faced and their triumphs are reflected in the experiences of today's mid-career Black mathematicians. Their mathematical descendants in turn are contemporary college students, and K-12 children across the U.S. who are learning that they belong in mathematics and STEM. The film focuses on the role of HBCUs in producing Black mathematicians, with sections on Morgan State, Howard University, Spelman College and Morehouse College connecting the featured individuals in threads of mentorship stretching back to the 1940s. At every HBCU covered in the film, the role of an outstanding teacher is stressed by their students, who are today responsible for advancing the math and science programs at the schools.
