Jerry Lawson

I read a great interview with Jerry Lawson, video game and computer industry pioneer, who recently passed away. Mr. Lawson was a black engineer in an industry that was almost entirely white. In his interview, not only does he talk about a fascinating period of time (interviewing Steve Jobs for an engineering position, the first computers, the first video games), but he also shares his perspective on the role of race in engineering careers.
