The Benjamin Banneker Association, Inc. (BBA) is a non-profit organization of individuals and groups concerned about the mathematics education of ALL children – specifically children of African ancestry.

Founded in 1986 to provide a forum for mathematics educators, mathematicians, and other interested people to discuss the teaching and learning of mathematics for children of African ancestry, BBA is deeply committed to finding solutions to the problems that must be solved for these students to reach parity in opportunities to study and achieve in mathematics. Membership is open to all who share this interest.
