Think Black: A Memoir chronicles the journey of John Stanley Ford, the first Black software engineer at IBM, and the personal toll of breaking barriers in a segregated workplace. This narrative weaves together moments of pride, perseverance, and the subtle tactics used to undermine him.
Facing isolation and prejudice, Ford drew strength from his community and professional dedication. His son’s reflections reveal how the ambition to succeed collided with corporate complicity in racism, shaping both family and career paths in the emerging tech industry.
Through vivid storytelling, the memoir illuminates the collision of corporate ambition, social justice, and familial bonds. Readers gain insight into an overlooked chapter of tech history and the human stories behind major industry milestones.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
