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.

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

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.

Randolph’s success on behalf

accomplishments. In 1941 he

1948 he motivated President
