Ambassador Andrew Young’s Blueprint for Power: From Selma to Strategy

Ambassador Andrew Young distills a lifetime in the movement into a present‑day playbook: organize pressure that becomes turnout, and turnout that becomes governing power. He links Selma’s lessons to today’s fights, stressing coalition‑building (“I never got elected with just Black votes”), persistence (“keep on keeping on”), and practical strategy—show up locally, build alliances beyond one community, and convert protest into policy. Framed by Roland’s setup and conversation prior to Young’s sign‑off, this segment keeps the focus on how to win power, not just remember history. 🔥 “What happened in Selma is part of a far larger struggle.” 🔥 “I never got elected with just Black votes.” 🔥 “Keep on keeping on.” 🔥 Strategy beats nostalgia: pressure → turnout → power 🔥 From bridges and marches to coalitions and mandates—convert movement energy into votes and policy #AndrewYoung #Selma #VotingRights #Coalition #Turnout #CivilRights #Democracy #PoliticalFire Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork 👉🏾 Use Cash App by visiting Stripe https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3ccgYyfSQ8y45kl 👉🏾 PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
