Less known, and often absent from the public record, are the Black American innovators who were a vital part of its development. In this panel discussion, Kathy Cotton, a filmmaker documenting Black contributions to the South Bay technology industry, members of the Silicon Valley Archives at Stanford Library and esteemed Black Silicon Valley innovators discuss why it is important these histories are documented.
