Philip Randolph Institute (Portland Chapter) ■t Invites You To Celebrate A, Philip Randolph .*. At the time of his death at the age of 90 in 1979, A. Philip Randolph was regarded as the elder statesmen of the civil rights movement. His landmark career as a civil rights activist, and labor leader began in Harlem in the early 1900s. Randolph the personality first came to public recognition as one of Harlem's most persua sive street com er orators, at that time urging Harlemites to adopt radical socialism. \S • : * <-7. ► y. „ * ‘ • i •j?7 *v X <•<< •* In 1917 Randolph created the “first 15 cent Negro publication", The Messenger, the self- proclaimed "only radical Negro magazine." The Messenger lasted 11 years until 1928 during which time it became one of the most respected radical journals in the country. It took uncompromising positions favoring the immediate affirmation of black people's civil rights: general economic reform; and the abolition of racism in the labor movement. In 1919, the magazine was described by the Justice Department as “the most able and the most dangerous of all Negro publications." Randolph was editing The Messengeryjhen four New York-based railroad porters approached him in 1925 to organize a porters' union. Not a porter himself, however, the political insights he'd expressed through The M essenger \ead the all black porters' union to trust and believe that Randolph was the perfect man to cham pion their cause. z ; > f. .. :u <• *’i ,-A* >• it. >: »- •7 * •VA'» The Pullman Palace Car Com pany, for whom the porters worked, began hiring newly freed black men exclusively in 1867 as porters. By 1925 the porters were the largest group 0 of black laborers in private industry, working under the most intolerable and unfair conditions. It took 12 years of bitter struggle to bring the Pullman Company to the bargaining table. Despite the American Federation of Labor’s recognition of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1929, Pullman didn’t sign a contract with the union until 1937. "Salvation for a race, nation, or class must come from within. Freedom is never granted; it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted. Free dom and justice must be struggled for by the oppressed of all lands and races, and the struggle must be continuous, for free dom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to The founding of the A.

Randolph’s success on behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was only one of his accomplishments. In 1941 he pressured Franklin Roosevelt into issuing an Executive Order banning employment discrimi nation in the war industries. In 1948 he motivated President Harry Truman to desegregate the armed forces and federal employment with the issuance of another Executive Order. In 1963 Randolph was the master architect of the March on Washington, recruiting Marti Luther King to deliver the keynote address. minority men and women gaining entry into the skilled trade unions nationally.
