An Easy Burden: The Civil Rights Movement and the Transformation of America. Foreword by Quincy Jones.

Martin Luther King, Andrew Young, & their work with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) 
by Andrew Young, Foreword by Quincy Jones 

     Andrew Young is one of the most important figures of the U.S. civil rights movement and one of America's best-known African American leaders. Working closely with Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), he endured beatings and arrests while participating in seminal civil rights campaigns. 

     In 1964, Rev. Young became Executive Director of the SCLC, serving with Dr. King during a time of great accomplishment and turmoil. In describing his life through his election to Congress in 1972, this memoir provides revelatory, riveting reading. 

     Young's analysis of the connection between racism, poverty, and a militarized economy will resonate with particular relevance 

for readers today.
