at Harvard. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1982, which he used to promote the Algebra Project. (12) In founding the Algebra Project, Moses stated that K–12 math literacy, like voting literacy, is key to full citizenship for Americans from poor and minority communities as our society shifts from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. (13) The Algebra Project is a non-profit dedicated to helping students from historically marginalized communities, including Black, Brown, and youth living in poverty, who often hail from low-income households. Students develop math literacy skills, which Bob Moses viewed as the path to permanently improving their life circumstances, as well as the social and economic conditions of their communities. (14) The Algebra Project uses mathematics literacy as an organizing tool to guarantee quality public-school education for all children in the United States. (15) The Algebra Project is one of the few mathematics education initiatives to originate in the African-American community. (16) Since its inception in 1982, the Algebra Project has helped more than 40,000 students in hundreds of schools nationwide. (17) In 1996, the Young People’s Project was launched by Algebra Project graduates from Cambridge, MA, and Algebra Project middle school students from Jackson, Mississippi. The Young People’s Project recruits and trains high school and college age Math Literacy Workers to facilitate enrichment workshops for younger students in mathematics. (18) For his work, Bob Moses has been honored, including with an Honorary Doctor of Science from Harvard University and Ohio State University, an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Princeton University, the John Dewey Prize for Progressive Education, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Council of the Teachers of Mathematics, and was inducted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. (19) Moses wrote about his vision for education and experiences. He was co-author of Radical Equations—Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra
