Robert Bob Moses led Black voter registration drives in the South during the 1964 Freedom Summer effort and later, founded a math training program to educate students in underfunded public schools. Civil rights leader Robert Bob Moses, a soft-spoken and self-effacing grassroots organizer who championed Black voting rights, died on Sunday at age 86. Born and raised in Harlem, N.Y., Moses went to the South to join the nascent fight for civil rights in the early 1960s, ultimately becoming a central figure in the movement. As a leader in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in deeply segregated Mississippi, Moses worked to hand political power to Black people through voting education and voter registration drives. He continued to push education to the forefront of the civil rights agenda when in the 80s he founded the Algebra Project, a math training program focused on empowering students from underfunded public schools and poor communities.
