Hardcover. Condición: Like New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First edition. Book is in Near Fine condition; the dustjacket has a short tear and some edgewear. Inscribed "To Scott Gilbert, Peace & Blessings, Andrew Young Dec. 20, 2005". With extraordinary insight and humanity, Andrew Young brings to life major campaigns of the movement and illuminates with rare honesty the key personalities on all sides and their motives. "An Easy Burden" is required reading for everyone who wants to better understand Martin Luther King, Jr., the civil rights movement and the ongoing struggle for social justice that continues in his name. Andrew Jackson Young Jr. (born March 12, 1932) is an American politician, diplomat, and activist. Beginning his career as a pastor, Young was an early leader in the civil rights movement, serving as executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and a close confidant to Martin Luther King Jr. Young later became active in politics, serving as a U.S. Congressman from Georgia, United States Ambassador to the United Nations in the Carter Administration, and 55th Mayor of Atlanta. Since leaving office, Young has founded or served in many organizations working on issues of public policy and political lobbying. Signed by Author. Nº de ref. del artículo: SKU2010026030

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: very good. Second Edition. 25 cm, 550 pages. Illus., index, small amount of ink underlining on p. 428, ink marks in margin of a few pages. Inscribed by the author. This copy is signed by the author, and inscribed to Richard Griffis (1934-2011), like Andrew Young a minister in the United Church of Church. There is a handwritten notation on p. 550 (unsigned, but appears to be in Young's handwriting); this notation refers obliquely to Geoffrey Griffis (Richard's son) who had voted in favor of expanding enrolIment and facilities at Georgetown Day School. The book includes a visionary afterword that charts a course for America and its role in the world as a standard-bearer for freedom, peace, and prosperity. A book of exceptional power, drama, and immediacy, which tells the story of the civil rights movement. Nº de ref. del artículo: 56303

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: very good. 25 cm. x, 550 pages. Illustrated(Timelines) endpapers. Illustrations. Afterword. Index. Inscribed and dated by the author on half-title page. Andrew Jackson Young Jr. (born March 13, 1932) is an American politician, diplomat, and activist. Beginning his career as a pastor, Young was an early leader in the civil rights movement, serving as executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and a close confidant to Martin Luther King Jr. Young later became active in politics, serving first as a U.S. Congressman from Georgia, then United States Ambassador to the United Nations, and finally Mayor of Atlanta. Since leaving political office, Young has founded or served in a large number of organizations working on issues of public policy and political lobbying. Derived from a Kirkus review: This eventual congressman, UN ambassador, and mayor of Atlanta came of age at a critical time in African-American history. Well educated and well read himself, Young came to the civil-rights movement with a belief that civility, compassion, and nonviolence could be equally formidable weapons in the struggle for equality. He also rejected the belief, drawn from the teachings of W.E.B. DuBois, that only the efforts of the top ten percent of the ``Negro race'' would be capable of advancing the cause, cultivating instead a populist view of the struggle. Young's convictions served him well as a lieutenant of Martin Luther King Jr. as he acted both as a liaison to white groups and as a moderate voice within King's closest circle of advisors. Young takes his readers to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Washington; he vividly recounts the growth of the movement through the 1960s and the turmoil after King's assassination. Young's firsthand reportage adds much of value to his book. Second Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Nº de ref. del artículo: 76837
