Ambassador Andrew Young On How Modern Atlanta Was Made

Jim Burress / WABE

 

The modern idea of Atlanta can be traced all the way back to Henry Grady. A new book, documentary, and archival project attempts to cover that history through the eyes of ambassador and former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young.

The project is called Andrew Young and the Making of Modern Atlanta and was created by attorney and public policy advocate Andrea Young, along with special advisor Harvey Newman, professor emeritus in the Public Management and Policy Department at Georgia State University.
