,It just aired but I learned so much and it gives me hope.

I forgot and really didn't understand how chaotic times were in the 60's, 70's and later
but the documentary brought back so many memories about events, she knitted well!

I found myself taking notes in my journal! Ari Melber had him on his show for a short interview, I think on Friday before Rachel introduced the doc.

Watch Friday, October 17th at 9pm ET on MSNBC. “Andrew Young: The Dirty Work” is a production from MSNBC Films, Surprise Inside, and Left/Right. An extended first look at the film will be shown for attendees of the upcoming “MSNBCLIVE ‘25: This Is Who We Are” event on Oct. 11 in New York City.
