Scope and Content Note
The subseries consists of the records of Executive Vice President Andrew J. Young from 1963-1970, and includes correspondence, office files, and some writings. The subseries documents Young's time as Executive Vice President following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., including his involvement in the Charleston Hospital Worker's Strike of 1969. Of particular interest are files relating to Young's work with the Delta Ministry of Mississippi, SCLC's Poor People's Campaign and other projects, and the United Church of Christ's Council for Christian Social Action. Also present in the subseries are a small number of records documenting Young's involvement in SCLC prior to 1968, including some correspondence, a brief report from Hattiesburg, Mississippi in the summer of 1964, and a file on the Chicago Freedom Movement among other things.
