Andrew Young’s long and eventful career saw him at Martin Luther King’s side during the civil rights era, becoming the first African-American US Ambassador to the United Nations under Jimmy Carter, and subsequently a two-term Mayor of Atlanta.

But the man he looked up to was Ralph Bunche, one of the earliest officials at the United Nations, and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In this episode of The Lid Is On, Mr. Young shares his memories of Ralph Bunche, and what made him such an impressive figure in the history of the UN.
