    I am forwarding the information below and attached regarding the "Mathematicians of the African Diaspora" website.

    In 1997, Scott Williams created the website "Mathematicians of the African Diaspora." The "MAD Pages," a compilation of more than 1,000 pages featuring over 700 biographies, documents the lives of African American mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists. It has seen more than 20 million visitors since its creation. After Williams retired in 2008, a team of Black mathematicians formed to continue his legacy by updating the site.  Edray Goins (Pomona College), Don King (Northeastern University), Asamoah Nkwanta (Morgan State), and John Weaver (Varsity Software) have shouldered this responsibility. On October 9, 2020, there will be an unveiling of the updated site http://www.mathad.com

    Dr. Edray Goins is the contact for this release.

    Best,
    Julia
