In honor of Black History Month, the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites all members of the DePaul community to join us for a screening of the new documentary “Journeys of Black Mathematicians – Forging Resilience.” Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

When: Friday, February 23, 3:00-4:30 pm

Where: McGowan South 104

Details: Forging Resilience, a documentary project by George Csicsery, traces the evolution of a culture of Black scholars, scientists and educators. The film follows the stories of prominent pioneers, showing how the challenges they faced, and their triumphs are reflected in the experiences of today’s working Black mathematicians. Their mathematical descendants in turn are contemporary college students, and K-12 children across the U.S. who are learning that they belong in mathematics and STEM. Check out the film’s website here.

Bonus: A recent DePaul graduate is featured in the film!
