A Digital Freedom Fighter at 40: Dr. Tyrone Taborn and the BEYA STEM Conference That Changed America
(BALTIMORE – February 12, 2026) – In my world of media, Dr. Tyrone Taborn is a living legend. He is one of the largest melanated print publishers in the world. He publishes several magazines, including Black Engineer. His roots include Chicago, Los Angeles, and, interestingly, Tulsa’s Black Wall Street. He came to Baltimore, and thanks to people like Billy Murphy, Esq., he stayed. And he built. Today, he and his queen of a wife, Jean Hamilton, own and operate one of America’s greatest gems, Career Communications Group (CCG). Located on Pratt Street, those offices are a part of Baltimore’s Black History that many overlook. Think about it. A business in Baltimore on the harbor with a 40-year track record. And it’s run by a brother. That’s not just Black History — that’s a world-class demonstration of resilience, tenacity, and the indomitable spirit for freedom. In this case, digital freedom. You could call “Doc” a digital freedom fighter who, for the last 40 years, has fought so that communities with people who look like him have the same access to digital technology as every other community in America. Doc is also an advocate for the Latino community. That’s why he publishes Hispanic Engineer. In all, between his books, his ventures, travel, and producing 40 years of conventions that have featured Fortune 100 CEOs, Admirals, and Generals — this man is on fire. Baltimore should be so very proud of this man. He has been fighting for us in spaces we know nothing about. Quantum physics and 8″ wafer technology, data centers in space, algorithmic precarity — these are topics that Doc wants our young people exposed to at an early age. Lauryn Hill said it best on her album cover: “In my travels all over the world, I have come to find that the only thing that differentiates one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.” Thank you, Doc, for 40 years of a liberating love for digital freedom to destroy digital apartheid. BEYA40: The Conference That Proves the Point And today — February 12, 2026 — that 40-year mission comes full circle as the BEYA STEM Conference opens at the Baltimore Convention Center and Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor for its landmark 40th year. The theme is unmistakable: Excellence comes with responsibility. BEYA40 is not just a conference. It is a convergence — HBCU engineering deans, Fortune 500 employers, military leaders, pre-college students, educators, and seasoned STEM professionals all under one roof, all pushing toward the same goal: ensuring that the future of innovation is as diverse as the nation it serves. The Man Behind the Movement Tyrone D. Taborn’s journey to this moment is extraordinary by any measure. A Cornell University alumnus who majored in government, he was one of 32 academic scholars honored with membership in the prestigious Telluride Association and a member of the Senior Honor Society “Quill and Dagger.” In 1978, he served as the first LBJ…

(WASHINGTON – March 19, 2025)—Welcome to your America. This country allegedly overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump as president. While many support his recent political efforts, others are deeply concerned about the country’s direction. Around the world, nations are observing as the U.S. seemingly dismantles government agencies and displays a growing disregard for what was once considered the greatest democracy in the world. We were promised a shift in leadership, and it appears we’ve gotten it. I’ve never seen a U.S. president as close with a Russian leader as Trump is with Vladimir Putin. Trump’s business ties with Putin’s Russia are…
