#MemoryLane - P.O.C (People of Color) in Gaming Pt2 - Afro Samurai by @CappsOffGaming w/ Tecnish

Special Salute to Tecnish from CappsOffGaming , he is back with a second installment of Memory Lane P.O.C (People of Color) in gaming Part 2. As the end of Black History month, friendly reminder that Black history is American History which is World History. Tecnish is back with one of my favorite anime as well as video games of All time Afro Samurai. We tend to ignore that lack of POC (People of Color) in Video games, it didn’t dawn on me the absence of minorities in video games besides the sports based games it’s rare that you see it. I am blessed that my childhood friend took the time to present this. Fun Fact Tecnish is one of the best teachers in the BPS, a BC High plus Umass Amherst graduate and most important he was one mean sprinter (55-400).
