During the week of April 24, 2023 to April 27, 2023, we will release, nightly, a city report and host a public presentation of #BlackTechFutures Research Institute’s new Black Tech Ecosystem Index (e.g. 57 indicators and 160 metrics) that informs the individual city reports–Dreaming of a Black Tech Future: A Digital Equity Assessment of Local Black Tech Ecosystem–for Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, and Houston.
The Agenda for each night includes:
- Remarks from Federal, State, and Local leaders
- Overview of the Findings and Recomendations
- A national discussion on how each report can support Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program (BEAD) and Digital Equity Act (DEA) for Black people in US cities
