Ambassador Andrew Young and Carolyn Young, Operation HOPE Host 20 African Women Leaders from Simmons College

 

Operation HOPE and I, along with Ambassador Andrew Young and Mrs. Carolyn Young, were honored to host 20 leaders of and for our future recently.  With a special thank you to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Metro Atlanta United Way and the U.S. State Department, we were pleased to host these 20 amazing young bright leaders -- 20 young African female leaders of and for our future from Simmon College -- during their recent stay in Atlanta, Georgia.

Amongst their once in a lifetime treats was an intimate conversation on civil rights with one Ambassador Andrew Young.

After spending a bit of time with these amazing young people, one gets the impression that solutions to our global problems really do exist.

Okay, let's go...
