Andrew Young tribute unveiling

A bronze of civil rights icon Andrew Young will be unveiled today in Atlanta.

The project is funded by Young’s friend, businessman Charles Loudermilk who supported Young’s bid for mayor of Atlanta back in the 1980’s.

Young worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The tribute will be at a junction of three downtown streets, symbolizing the intersection of business, race and politics.
