## Caption

Georgia has been a garden for some of the most influential civil rights activists in history.
•
In 1972, Andrew Jackson Young Jr. became one of the first black southerners elected to congress in Georgia in the 20th century.  As a lifelong activist and Freedom Award honoree, he stood at MLK’s side and championed many of King’s tenants, and continues to fight for equality today!
