In this episode, SNCC Veteran Charlie Cobb leads an inter-generational conversation revealing an intimate portrait of the impact of Bob Moses, a legendary figure in the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement and founder of The Alphabet Project.

The conversation delves into Omo's understanding of his parents' civil rights legacy and how it has influenced his sense of identity and purpose. Omo shares his experiences with the Algebra Project, led by his father, Bob Moses. Transitioning to Java’s introduction to The Algebra Project, thoughts on radical pedagogy in Black communities, and reflections on the impact of the experience on her worldview, the three weave their perspectives, ideas, and reflections together to present a tapestry of this radical, impactful, and community-oriented figure. Dive into this episode to learn more about the broader challenges educators face in trying to teach advanced subjects to underserved students and how limited historical narratives result in us overlooking the role of ordinary people in driving social change.
