I am trying to compile a list of African American mathematicians.  Do 
you have any suggestions or Internet URLs where I can find some info? 
 
Thanks.

Hello! 

Usually the first place we look for biographical information about 
individual mathematicians is the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive:

  http://turnbull.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/

Also, see Prof. Scott Williams' series of pages, "Mathematicians of 
the African Diaspora," created to exhibit the accomplishments of the 
peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical 
Sciences.

Next, see "The Faces of Science: African Americans in the Sciences": 

  http://www.princeton.edu/~mcbrown/display/faces.html   

I hope this will give you a good start on your project.
