A week long look at contemporary and historical black voices in videogames, including the work on Jerry Lawson. Jerry Lawson was a self-taught engineer who brought us the video game cartridge. His interest in computing led him in the 1970s to Silicon Valley's Homebrew Computer Club, of which he was one of only two black members at the time. While with the club, he crossed paths with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Lawson's work allowed people to play a variety of games in their homes, and paved the way for systems such as the Atari 2600, Nintendo, Xbox and Playstation.
