Now In Technicolor! Groundbreaking Shows For POCs

Geeks Represent!

Growing up in the 90s when you turned on the tv at primetime, chances were you’d see very few people of color. For many, it was considered diverse if you had one black guy in the cast if there was one at all. But as time went on, we started seeing awesome shows that reminded us that stories didn’t have to be about white people to be successful. Let’s talk about the groundbreaking shows for people of color.

Was there a show you grew up with that you felt was groundbreaking? Please leave it in the comments or review.
