Ed Smith, one of the first African Americans to work in video games, has published an autobiography! We're adding this immediately to our library, and you should too. Let's support capturing more black voices in our video game history canon: amazon.com/Imagine-That-Amer…

How many gamers know a black inventor was behind the very first video game cartridge? Designer Gerald Lawson created the Fairchild Channel F. He pioneered using consoles to play an endless number of games, a pillar of the video game industry to this day.

Love that this is happening more and more.
make sure to stay there and form a line in front of the restaurant and not let replacement workers in.
hopefully folks see this and come help you hold that line.

A week of protests and rebellions in most cities and hundreds of small towns and suburbs has still not gotten the other 3 Minneapolis cops charged.
In order to make power suffer consequences- lose profit- until they meet demands

Breonna Taylor should’ve turned 27 today but she was murdered in her sleep in her own home. This is why we march, this is why we protest. Rest In Peace Breonna, we will never stop fighting for you or all the lives taken by police brutality. #breonnataylor #blacklivesmatter

In this moment of heightened awareness of anti-Black police terrorism, TAKE THE TIME to learn about, and have the heart to care about, the Black political prisoners who put their lives on the line, and went to war for the liberation of Black folks.

As clear an illustration as any as to why we need to reject empty symbols of unity.
