[Excerpt] Is SAINTS ROW an accurate representation of gang politics? - History Through Games

Can Saints Row shed light on debates between historians over the nature of gang politics in 1960s America?
This video uses Saints Row to discuss the fascinating debate between historians who disagree over whether or not African American gangs in 1960s Chicago benefited or harmed minority communities.
This is part of a video series called History Through Games that uses video games as windows into themes, debates, and concepts discussed by historians.
Welcome! I'm Dr Darren Reid, a historian at McGill University.
My career in history began with my love of fantasy games, movies, and books.
Unfortunately, academics tend to only have conversations with other academics, and I want to share my twin passions of history and video games with everyone!
I don't want to just lecture at you, so let me know what types of games and/or history you are into and we can build this channel together!
