Our Niche: #BlackTechMonth

In 1986 Congress passed Public Law 99-244 which made the observation of Black History throughout the month of February. Its origins come from 1915 when Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week for America to acknowledge the contributions that Black people in this great country. Today Black America celebrates the entire month by promoting and sharing Black Facts and stories about our past in America.

A lot of the contributions Black Americans have made were industrial, health, transportation, commercial and technological. One of our goals and advocacies is to promote Black Excellence in Technology. So starting this February Blacks in Technology Foundation will celebrate Black excellence and leadership in technology the entire month with a hash tag #BlackTechMonth.

Blacks in Technology Foundation is a growing national organization with both domestic and international membership. The Foundation’s focus and appeal are directly connected to its workforce development programs, apprenticeships, training and certifications. The total sum of the Foundation’s development has created a pipeline, a curated talent pool, that disrupts the current recruiting culture of today’s tech industry. 

Throughout the entire month we will celebrate #BlackTechMonth by promoting Black excellence - executives, leaders and founders. We will also continue to develop our membership management platform to strengthen our talent pools data sets. The month will end with our Black Tech Month Job Fair where we plan to match job seekers with employment opportunities.
