10 African-American Innovators of Education

- By

Bob and Omo Moses

Add this father and son team together and it equals a powerful  team in mathemathics education. One afternoon volunteering at his daughter’s school turned into an award-winning math literacy activism campaign. Civil rights leader Bob Moses created The Algebra Project to supplement and improve math that was being taught in schools. Through field trips, games, and real-life experience, students learn math and science. Bob’s son Omo followed in his father’s footsteps and created his own math literacy project, the Young People’ Project, which trains high school and college students to teach math to elementary and middle school students.
