Few Atlantans have had as large an effect on the city as Andrew Young, and tributes to the man are easy to find on our streets. These are some of the places and things named for Atlanta's 55th mayor. In 2001, International Boulevard was rechristened Andrew Young International Boulevard, as part of a weeklong celebration of Young for his 69th birthday. Besides the street name change, the celebrations included a celebrity-studded dinner gala that included Jesse Jackson, Evander Hollyfield, Bill Clinton, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte, Hank Aaron and Maya Angelou.
