Positive African American Males

Let’s not forget about the positive African American males who helped shape this country. I think they would serve as good reference material for a positive African American male character in a videogame.

Thurgood Marshall was the first African American to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. He helped pave the way for hot shot lawyer Johnnie Cochran.














Daniel Hale Williams was a medical Pioneer. He is credited with performing the first open-heart surgery. He helped pave the way for Ben Carson who is an American Neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery.














Sir Sidney Poitier became the first black man to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. He helped pave the way for Denzel Washington who became the second African American male to win for Best Actor.














One of the most influential African Americans of all time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.






The first African American President, Barack Obama.





I asked myself this question, "Do you think any of the men listed here could identify with the African American male characters in videogames today?"
