For over 175 years, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have played a pivotal role in educating Black students. This book delves into the experiences of a cohort of 16 Black male math majors at Morehouse College, known as the mathematical brotherhood. Through the lenses of Black masculinity and critical race theory, the author employs an asset-based approach to craft a captivating narrative about this group within a racially affirming learning community. Readers will gain insights into how Morehouse empowers its students, as well as how they navigate and manage ongoing racial challenges, mathematical spaces, and society. Amplifying the voices of the participants, the study showcases the nation's top producer of Black male math majors, extends the knowledge base regarding HBCUs' multigenerational legacy of success, and makes a substantial contribution to the growing body of discipline-based education research. The author offers recommendations for families, educators, policymakers, and researchers to enhance Black boys' and men's mathematics achievement and academic outcomes.

Book Features:
1. Centers Black males' cautionary tales about navigating school and society, not only during their college years but also in their formative years.
2. Provides insights regarding Black males' persistence in mathematics.
3. Includes ethnographic data that brings a math learning community to life.
4. Draws upon race-related frameworks to document Black male success in college.
