Pennsylvania’s Black Tech Entrepreneurs Forge A Path

Black leaders and entrepreneurs in technology aren’t new to the scene.

Think of inventors like Dr. Mark Dean, who contributed numerous key patents for the development of the personal PC during his time with IBM, or Annie J. Easley, who developed software for NASA’s Centaur rocket stage. Both Dean and Easley had to navigate more than just science and technology. They also wrestled with racial injustice throughout their careers. Black tech professionals made a significant impact then, and continue to do so today.
