SEATTLE — This segment is an encore presentation taped pre-COVID-19.
Reviewed as "A must-read" by Morgan Freeman, Think Black tells the history of IBM's first black software engineer, John Ford, through the perspective of his son, Clyde Ford. In the memoir, Ford reflects on his father's career, how institutional racism affected their relationship, and his own personal experience following his father's footsteps through IBM.
Ford joins us today to dive into his father's legacy, his own experience at IBM, and talk about what inspired him to write Think Black.
