Andrew Young Will be Featured Speaker at MLK Day Celebration in McLean, 1/17
Before Andrew Young became a U.S. congressman, a United Nations Ambassador and the Mayor of Atlanta, he was a trailblazer. A friend and aide to civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., Young bore witness to-and was at the frontlines of-many of the historic events that defined the 20th century in America. He confronted segregation with Dr. King and galvanized a movement that transformed a nation through non-violence. Young was a key strategist and negotiator during the Civil Rights campaigns in Birmingham and Selma that resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Reflecting on his experiences, Young will inspire and challenge audience members to continue to push toward peace and justice throughout the world.
