‘Andrew Young Presents’ Highlights John Lewis

The 10th season of Sewee Entertainment’s quarterly syndicated documentary series Andrew Young Presents begins with “Think Young” — a look back that actually is a look forward.

Included is rare footage that dramatically illustrates the story of Congressman John Lewis, a Civil Rights icon who in recent weeks has been in a war of words with President Donald Trump.

Rep. Lewis, who was beaten and arrested many times during the Civil Rights movement, has been a colleague and close friend of the show’s host, former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, a lifelong negotiator whose approach has always been aimed at peace. And after speaking to a lawyer’s group at this year’s Martin Luther King Holiday in Nashville, Young received an unexpected phone call from Predsident Trump while taping a television interview.  

This documentary special includes that call and the inside story behind it. “Think Young” also describes a lifelong philosophy of Young that served as his first campaign slogan when running as Georgia’s first African American Congressman in the 1970s and continues to serve him now, as he prepares to celebrate his 85th birthday — finding himself, as always, calmly seated in the eye of the storm.
