Mathematically Gifted & Black (MGB) is a website that features the accomplishments of black scholars in mathematical sciences. In addition to highlighting the work and lives of established mathematicians in the African Diaspora, the platform aims to support the next generation of these mathematicians as they pursue career goals in mathematics and mathematical sciences fields.[1][2] Featured mathematicians must have a degree in mathematics that they use in their work and be recognized as a leader in research, education, industry, government, academia, and/or outreach.[3] The website has been recognized by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) as a "celebrat[ion of] the diversity of Black mathematicians,"[3] and the National Math Festival describes it as a resource that "provides access to the diverse and dynamic community of black mathematicians."[4] When featured on the mathematics podcast "Relatively Prime," the founders of MGB shared that the website shows the diversity of black mathematicians' lives and highlights the importance of representation in mathematics.[5] Founders of MGB received the Association for Women in Mathematics’ 2022 AWM Presidential Recognition Award.[6][7]

History

Mathematically Gifted & Black was founded in 2017 by Erica Graham (Bryn Mawr College), Raegan Higgins (Texas Tech University), Candice Price (Smith College), and Shelby Wilson (University of Maryland). The professors created the website with the intent of highlighting the contributions and lives of black mathematicians. The name of the website was partially inspired by the song "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" performed by Nina Simone with lyrics by Weldon Irvine.[8][9][10]

Notable people recognized

Mathematically Gifted & Black features a collective archive called the "Circle of Excellence" that documents the website's Black History Month honorees that have been recognized since the site's inception. During the month of February, a prominent black mathematician is recognized each day, their accomplishments are highlighted, and a short Q&A with the recipient is often included. The mathematicians featured by MGB include university professors and a diverse variety of mathematical professionals.[11][12]

Several notable individuals are included among the extensive archive of honorees. Their names appear below.
