Andrew Young: The Dirty Work

,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.
