Ambassador Andrew Young
Andrew Young started his career as a pastor in 1954 which essentially shaped his entire life. He negotiated for Civil rights and voting rights in the 1960s and in 1972, he was elected to the United States Congress, making him the first black man to serve the state of Georgia in Washington since the Reconstruction era. After three terms in Congress, he was appointed United States Ambassador to the United Nations by President Jimmy Carter in 1977 and became a champion of human rights around the world, particularly in South Africa, where he spearheaded the administration’s efforts to end apartheid. In 1982, he was elected Mayor of Atlanta, and is credited with transforming the city into an international metropolis and laying the groundwork for the city to host the Centennial Olympic Games in 1996, serving as co-chairman. As Chairman of the Andrew J. Young Foundation, he is working to feed the hungry and is devoting much of his life’s work to the underserved in US, India, Africa and its vast economic potential. Ambassador Young is the author of three books, and has produced, co-written and narrated over 35 acclaimed documentaries. As a speaker on the lecture circuit, and as an ordained minister with the United Church of Christ for over six decades, Ambassador Young continues to preach and considers the work of the Andrew J. Young Foundation an extension of his ministry and the Civil Rights movement itself.
