For most of the world, civil and political rights... come as luxuries that are far away in the future.
Andrew Young
I wasn't predicted to be anything. I just followed an inner spirit, and it put me in the right place and the right time. I didn't want to be the mayor of Atlanta. I didn't want to run for Congress. I didn't want to work for Martin Luther King Jr. I wanted to work close to him and be a writer and write about the movement.
Andrew Young
Do not try to live your children's lives out of your own frustrations.
Andrew Young
