"What is Black Family Technology Awareness Week?

Black Family Technology Awareness Week (BFTAW) is a national public awareness campaign designed to educate and empower African Americans through technology by preparing our communities to become an integral part of the fastest-moving industry of all time. As quoted by Tyrone D. Taborn, CCG's publisher and CEO, "The Black Family Technology Awareness Campaign was never about simple Internet access and mere computer ownership but rather about African Americans becoming true beneficiaries of the many assets of technology and all it has to offer." It is critical that we become a major part of the economy of the next millennium. As a community, we successfully leverage technology in school, at work, at home, in communications, and in almost every area of our lives."
