The Honorable Andrew Young, former ambassador to the United Nations, civil rights activist and businessman, will make two appearances at the 14^th annual Hands On Atlanta Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Summit on Saturday, Jan. 13.

            In an onstage interview lasting approximately 45 minutes, Young will share his memories from the civil rights movement, as well as insights on issues and opportunities facing today’s activists. The interview will be conducted by Tom Houck - Author of the forthcoming book, "Driving Dr. King: Chasing the Dream," Tom Houck served as Dr. King’s aid and chauffer from 1966 until his assassination in 1968.  The talk will be the concluding portion of the Service Summit’s Freedom Rally event at Ebenezer Baptist Church which begins at 10 a.m. and finishes after the Young interview by noon.

            Young will also open a panel discussion beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday called “Dr. King’s Unknown Ground Crew” featuring special guests, many of whom worked for the voter registration project in 1965.  The so-called SCOPE project (SCLC Summer Community Organization and Political Education) resulted in the registration of 49,000 primarily black voters in the deep South.  This event takes place at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in the Martin Luther King Historic District.
