Monument and Tribute to Andrew Young
Monday, April 14th at 10 a.m.
Walton Spring Park

Central Atlanta Progress will hold a ceremony on April 14th, at 10 a.m., to dedicate the Andrew Young Tribute at Walton Spring Park.  Four years in the making, the Tribute honors Andrew Young’s journey from minister to Mayor of Atlanta to international statesman. The project was conceived and funded by lifelong friend and Aaron’s founder Charles Loudermilk, and led by Central Atlanta Progress. The Tribute includes an art piece by Atlanta sculptor Curtis Patterson, a bronze statue by North Carolina sculptor Johnpaul Harris, and a redesigned park by the Atlanta office of EDAW. The design of the park tells the story of Young’s life and his contributions to Atlanta, the United States and the world as a minister, civil rights leader, Mayor, United Nations Ambassador and Olympic visionary.

Among those speaking will be Ambassador Andrew Young, Aaron’s founder Charles Loudermilk, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, Congressman John Lewis, Cousins Properties Incorporated CEO and CAP Board Chairman Tom Bell and CAP President A.J. Robinson.

The program will be held from 10-10:30 a.m., rain or shine, in Walton Spring Park in front of the Atlanta Marriott Downtown on Spring Street (not at the Marriott Marquis). Parking in the area is limited. Please take MARTA to the Peachtree Center Station or visit our web site for parking options. www.atlantadowntown.com/ParkingPlan.asp
