TAB Training & Consulting, LLC - Celebrates Black
History Month
TABTC, LLC celebrates Black History Month by acknowledging African
American Women that ave used technology as a tool for building and developing their human
capital toward reaching the very positions they currently hold and to achieve
future professional goals.
“The Origin”
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements
by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African
Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the
brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African
Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month
of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including
Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black
history.
“The Theme”
Every year there is a theme identified with Black History
Month and this year’s theme is “Black Women in American Culture and History.” We are going to feature Black Women that have
used technology (science, math and engineering) as a means for developing and
building their human capital toward acquiring the prestigious positions that they
currently hold.
