renewed civil rights movement
sparked by the George Floyd
killing, as well as the current
state of Atlanta.
The New Orleans-raised Young

town preacher, got involved

Martin Luther King
Jr. and helped him
lead the Southern

Conference; served

Atlanta’s mayor; and

ASL contributor Mark
Woolsey caught up with Young
recently at his Atlanta home.
Q. How is the Black Lives
Matter/renewed civil rights
movement underway now
different from what you took
part in in the 60s?
A. We (in the 60s) were
organized and we came out
of a university environment.
We consulted with lawyers in
advance. We had a legislative
strategy for Washington and
the states. And it took us three
months to get a movement
organized that got maybe 55
people to show up. I think we
had 63 in Birmingham.
This movement you have,
coinciding, people getting laid
off and not working because
of the virus. Everybody was at
home and we all saw the death
of George Floyd. With the mass
media available now, and the
social media, they were able to
gather thousands of people. It
went worldwide in less time than
