The man who handled Martin Luther King Jr.’s dirty work

I'm so done with all these ppl thinking they're gonna change the world with their loud mouths and radical ideas 🤯. I mean, Andrew Young was literally doing the "dirty work" behind the scenes and getting things done without anyone even noticing his name 🙄. He wasn't some flashy civil rights leader, he was a diplomat, a mediator, someone who could get people to work together despite all their differences. And you know what? That's exactly what we need more of in today's world - not just people willing to scream and shout about the issues, but people like Andrew Young who can quietly bring people together.

I'm also so tired of ppl saying that someone is too "well-adjusted" or that they're not radical enough. What's wrong with being a level-headed person who wants to make a difference? Can't we just get along and find common ground without having to be confrontational all the time? I mean, think about it - Andrew Young wasn't some crazy person, he was a smart, calm, and collected leader who understood that sometimes you have to do the hard work behind the scenes in order to make real progress.

And can we please talk about how relevant this is for today's world? We're living in a time where fascism is on the rise and people are getting demonized for speaking out. But Andrew Young's story shows us that it doesn't have to be like that - that with quiet persistence, behind-the-scenes work, and a willingness to listen to others, we can actually make a difference. So let's take a cue from Andrew Young and focus on doing the "dirty work" without expecting everyone else to do all the heavy lifting for us 🤝.
 
I'm feeling really inspired by this docu about Andrew Young 🤩. He's like a master strategist who knows just how to navigate complex social situations without drawing attention to himself. Think of it like this:

He was the behind-the-scenes hero who kept the civil rights movement moving forward, even when things got tough! His calm and collected approach is actually a superpower in today's world where people are getting more and more polarized 🤯.

Imagine you're trying to get two kids to share a toy, but one of them is being super stubborn. You can either try to force them to take turns or find a way to get the other kid on board. That's basically what Andrew Young did – he found ways to bring people together and make progress happen, even when it was hard.

We need more people like him today, who are willing to do the "dirty work" behind the scenes so others can focus on being radical change-makers 🔥.
