Back in 1970 a census was taken which counted just over 1100 black women having PHDs and considering themselves mathamaticians. Today, the number has grown nearly ten fold to almost 10,000 black women with PHDs in mathematics. The number is far too low and hopefully more black women will be inspired to pursue PHDs in math.
