In this story, Andrew Young remembers a turning point for his close
friend, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and for the Civil Rights movement in America. Dr. King, often cautious and reluctant, finally
accepts the responsibility of being a leader, even going to jail – as an
act of civil disobedience, protesting the injustice towards his people.
From his jail cell he wrote his famous “Letter from a Birmingham
Jail,” explaining his goal of creating nonviolent social change which
launched the movement worldwide.
