Ambassador Andrew Young

In an effort to assist students who plan to attend Black colleges, on Friday, Young was on hand for the launch of the new Andrew Young HBCU Scholarship Program. Funded by McGraw Hill Education, an arm of McGraw Hill publishing, the program hopes to create an “educational ecosystem” to help support high school students enrolled in the company’s existing civil rights education curriculum.

The task of teaching those unifying, non-violent principles to a new generation is urgent and lies on the shoulders of the current generation which has time and again gravitated toward collective wisdom and come up with solutions that transcend politics and violence.
