Black male students are underrepresented in advanced mathematics programs and courses. White adults and students are the primary beneficiaries of these specialized mathematics options, thereby making them White institutional spaces. There has been a call to focus on the underrepresentation of Black male students in advanced mathematics courses. This article examines the scholarly literature about Black male students' mathematical experiences. We conclude by providing recommendations for increasing Black male students' representation in specialized mathematics spaces and how to use the knowledge to transform their lives and community.
