Ambassador Andrew Young, whom he called “a man as good as any who has ever represented any nation in any government.” For many people around the world -- those who are poor, hungry, black, brown, and yellow - the United States government is Andy Young, Carter said. “They trust him. And in their trust of him, 1 gain their trust.” “Now in the U.N. General Assembly we are no longer the target of every attack and the butt of every joke. We are a people now who reach out a hand of equality, friendship, and mutual respect where formerly there was antagonism and a chasm that could not be crossed and 1 thank Andy Young for it. And 1 thank those of you on the stage with me for having trained Andy so well.” Persons in the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. King co-pastored with his father included his widow, Coretta, his father, the Rev.
