Review
In "An Easy Burden" Andrew Young draws on his own life's experiences to recount with both passion and objectivity one of the most dramatic periods in U.S. history.
-President Jimmy Carter
Andy Young's courageous participation and strategic leadership were crucial to the success of the Civil Rights Movement. His political witness and theological insight are indispensable to any understanding of those historic events.
--James H. Cone, Charles Augustus Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology, Union Theological Seminary
There is no better personal account of the struggles of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement than Andrew Young's "An Easy Burden". The strategies, the alliances, and the debates that created the greatest social movement America has ever seen are here in a personal and touching story.
-Juan Williams, Senior Correspondent, Morning Edition
Synopsis
This work charts the civil rights movement from the NACCP philosophy and middle-class aspirations of the author's parents' generation, to the non-violent direct-action approach of Martin Luther King, through the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and the relationship between King and both men, who struggled between their desire to do right and their passion to win the South. Andrew Young discusses the extent of FBI harassment of King and others and the violence of their reaction to King's anti-Vietnam War stance. He portrays the aftermath of King's death and his own decision to try to effect change from the inside, by entering the new frontier of politics. Andrew Young has been at the centre of the civil rights movement since its infancy, and was a right-hand-man to Martin Luther King.
