STORYLINE:
Carter’s longtime friend and fellow Georgian, former Amb. Andrew Young, is recalling the unlikely intersection between him, a Black man, and Carter, a white man, who both grew up amid Jim Crow segregation.
Young, an ordained minister and onetime aide to Martin Luther King Jr., drew laughs from the crowd when he said, “It’s still hard for me to understand how you could get to be president from Plains, Georgia.”
Now 92, Young became a Georgia congressman, Atlanta mayor and Carter’s U.N. ambassador.
Speaking without a prepared speech in front of him, Young said he knew Carter “for more than half of my life,” yet “never ceased to be surprised” or “inspired” by the former president’s actions.
“Jimmy Carter was a blessing that helped to create a great United States of America. And for all of us, and many who are not able to be here, I want to say, ‘Thank you. You have been a blessing from God, and your spirit will remain with us,’” Young said.
