Dr. Robert Moses (b. 1935) was the legendary organizer-leader of the Mississippi Freedom Movement in the 1960s and founded the nationally-recognized Algebra Project. A role model for SNCC’s unselfish style of community organizing, Moses became the key inspiration and organizer of Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964. Currently, his work with the Algebra Project uses mathematics literacy to help urban youth develop citizenship skills and broaden the educational, professional and civic possibilities for their lives. Based in Cambridge (MA), the Project carries out its work in cities across the country, working with its youth collaborators, The Young People’s Project.
