Robert Parris Moses was a civil rights activist who endured beatings and imprisonment while leading a black voter registration campaign in the southern United States in the 1960s. He later helped improve mathematics education for minorities and has now died . He is 86 years old.
During the Civil Rights Movement, Moses worked as the Mississippi Field Director of the Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee to eliminate apartheid, and was the core of the “Summer of Freedom” in 1964, where hundreds of students went to the South to register as voters.
Because of the MacArthur Scholarship, he founded the Algebra Project in 1982 and started his “Chapter Two of Civil Rights Work”. The project includes courses developed by Moses to help poor students succeed in math.
