A top aide to Martin Luther King, Jr., and one of history's
most important civil rights leaders, Andrew Young has been a
witness to history and made his own. During the civil rights
movement, he worked tirelessly as a strategist and
negotiator in the campaigns that resulted in the Civil
Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, and was at Dr. King's side
when he was assassinated.
For years, he has been
mentoring his godson, Kabir Sehgal, in correspondence and
conversation. In this entertaining and provocative
discourse, Young shares his thoughts and meditations on such
important topics as civil rights, race, faith, love, and
leadership.
It's an inter-generational dialogue
between Godfather and Godson, a living Tuesdays with
Morrie. "This book is my attempt to humbly pass along a
few anecdotes, life lessons, and insights to prepare you for
the long journey ahead," Young says.
