Longtime activist and teacher Bob Moses believes he has the key to economic success in the age of technology: encourage students to become math-literate.
"You're talking about the ability to handle technical language," Moses said. "If they don't get it, they're effectively sharecroppered, the modern version of sharecroppered, where they don't have access to what's driving the economic arrangement."
Moses, 66, was honored Sunday at a conference called Civil Rights & Activism: Lessons and Perspectives Across Three Generations, held in Harlem.
