THOMASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Civil rights icon Andrew Young has come home to the south Georgia city where he first became a pastor in 1955. Young is billed as the star guest at the opening of a traveling exhibit in Thomasville on Thursday. The aptly called “The Many Lives of Andrew Young” will be held at an arts center not far from Bethany Congregational Church. Young became pastor at the 19th-century church before he later joined King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The exhibit was created by the National Monuments Foundation and chronicles Young’s life through photographs, memorabilia and his own words.
