Twenty of Dr. Crystal Garrett’s political science students will get to meet civil rights icon Andrew Young on Feb. 24.

The students will participate in a live broadcast at Atlanta’s KISS 104.1 studios, where they’ll visit with Young and then attend a catered lunch following the 11 a.m. broadcast on the Sasha the Diva show.

In addition to his activities during the Civil Rights Movement, Young also served as a member of Congress, mayor of Atlanta and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The students attending are among those taking Garrett’s American Government honors and Global Issues classes at Georgia Perimeter’s Dunwoody Campus.

“I would like them to meet Andrew Young so they can get firsthand information from a civil rights activist who worked directly next to Martin Luther King,” Garrett says.
