YWCA Racial Justice Breakfast guest speaker Andrew Young
Slavery was abolished in
this country long ago, and Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X fought during the
Civil Rights Movement nearly a half-century ago, yet we still have to confront
the fact that racism is still very real. Keynote speaker Andrew Young will lead
such discussion in the twelfth installment of the Racial Justice Breakfast.
Young has long been a figure in religious and political spheres over the last
50 years. During the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, Young was a close friend of
Dr. King, and during the presidency of Jimmy Carter he was appointed Ambassador
to the United Nations. Participants are encouraged to be active in the
conversation as dialogue will reflect upon the personal and community-wide
impact of racism. A registration fee is required and additional donations will
be accepted. The Breakfast will be held Sunday, March 18 at the National Underground Railroad
Freedom Center from 7:30-9 a.m.
50 E. Freedom Way, downtown.
