Journeys of Black Mathematicians: Creating Pathways is the second film in the series by filmmaker George Csicsery, and had its world premiere at the Joint Math Meetings in Seattle on January 11, 2025. The documentary series features interviews with contemporary Black American researchers and educators and surveys innovative educational programs in math at every level from grade school through undergraduate and postdocs. At the conclusion of the screening on February 7 there will be a panel discussion.

A link to view the first film, Journeys of Black Mathematicians: Forging Resilience, will be made available to those who wish to screen the film virtually on their own personal device before viewing the second film in person on February 7.
