SPECIAL SESSION: MOVIE SCREENING “JOURNEYS OF BLACK MATHEMATICIANS”

In a special session at WoLLIC 2023, we plan to screen a documentary film
that explores the groundbreaking achievements of African American
mathematicians. "Journeys of Black Mathematicians" (zalafilms.com) is a
powerful film that traces the history of these pioneering individuals and
their impact on mathematics. This film is not only a tribute to their
achievements, but also an inspiration for Black and other minority students
to pursue their studies and consider careers in mathematics.

   The film is currently in production and its filmmaker, George Csicsery,
has agreed to give us a sneak peek. We will be shown a rough cut if it is
ready by the screening date. If not, George will be showcasing some sample
scenes to give us a taste of what's to come.
