Part 5: Ambassador Andrew Young, former Congressman and Atlanta mayor
In the 1960s and 1970s African-Americans emerged as the dominant political force in the city. Ambassador Andrew Young was there for that transition, and perhaps as much as any single individual nurtured and preserved the black-white political and business coalition that has served Atlanta successfully for more than a generation. In another 2-part interview, Young reflects on the evolution of that coalition, and offers his thoughts on the roles the region’s newest immigrant groups may play.
