Young helped organize the Cleveland branch of the NAACP and the AFL postal union.^[1] He entered politics after retiring as a postal supervisor.^[2]

In 1954, he ran for Ohio's 21st congressional district. The district was evenly divided between African Americans, who were solidly Republican, and whites, who were mostly Democrats. After winning a hard-fought Republican primary, the 78-year-old Young lost to Charles Vanik, a judge.^[1][2]
