U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young Stole the Hearts of Many

The program focused on the diverse and ultimately merging ideologies of Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, the personal role of Ambassador Young as a historic figure in the Civil Rights Movement and the relevance of the Civil Rights Movement to today’s racial and economic climate. Originally slated to end with a symbolic march led by Ambassador Young, the program ended with the dynamic words of acclaimed speaker, author and CNN contributor, Victor Woods. Both had more to share with the well behaved students than time allowed.

Working in conjunction with the University of Missouri St. Louis’ Office of Student Life, The Ethics Project presented “A Morning with U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young -Awakening History” that included the civil rights leader and international icon, AndrewYoung, Gentlemen of Vision, soloists from Riverview Gardens High School, an awards ceremony assisted by ROTC students in full dress blues from Roosevelt High School and gifted speaker, Victor Woods.
