Ambassadors Quote by Andrew Young

“When people ask where I studied to be an ambassador, I say my neighborhood and my school. I've tried to tell my kids that you don't wait until you're in high school or college to start dealing with problems of people being different. The younger you start, the better.” quote by Andrew Young — Download Open image
