Abstract
A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979) was born in Crescent City, Florida. In 1925 Randolph organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP), and ten years later he negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the Pullman Palace Car Company. As an official of the AFL-CIO, Randolph joined other prominent civil rights leaders in organizing the 1963 march on Washington. In the following article Roy Wilkins pays tribute to Randolph for conceiving the idea of the march on Washington. This article was writ ten in August 1972. The ninth anniversary of the famous March on Washington by the civil rights organizations and their followers is August 28. It seems only yesterday that 220,000 white and black people-an estimated 40,000 white-presented their petition and their personal presence to their government, at its seat, in behalf of civil rights for all Americans.
