Requests:  0 Summary:  As a boy, Andrew Young learned a vital lesson from his parents when a local chapter of the Nazi party instigated racial unrest in their hometown of New Orleans in the 1930s. While Hitler's teachings promoted White supremacy, Andrew's father, told him that when dealing with the sickness of racism, Don't get mad, get smart. To drive home this idea, Andrew Young Senior took his family to the local movie house to see a newsreel of track star Jesse Owens racing toward Olympic gold, showing the world that the best way to promote equality is to focus on the finish line. The teaching of his parents, and Jesse Owens' example, would be the guiding principles that shaped Andrew's beliefs in nonviolence and built his foundation as a civil rights leader and advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 323.092 Young Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library J -- Juvenile Oversize B Owens Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 323.092 Yo Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Owens Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
