AN EASY BURDEN
Young, Andrew
HarperCollins, 1996
550 pages

Young tells his story beginning with his childhood roots in New Orleans, including his own discovery of being black and despised, through the tumultuous 1961-1968 Civil Rights Movement days. The role of Negro spirituals and Scripture is described with obvious appreciation. Young clearly describes and affirms the deep Christian roots, beliefs and principles that Martin Luther King practiced. He honors his own parents and siblings, and lifts up many unseen or unacknowledged people who gave so much energy, strength and service to the movement.
