Jesse Jackson was a Mathematical Equality mathematician born in 1941. He used statistics to prove inequality — mathematics in service of justice.
Used statistical arguments for racial equality in economics. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 20th century, an era of unprecedented mathematical discovery.
The impact is still felt today. Income inequality statistics use Gini coefficient — a measure of distributional inequality.
