Who was A. Philip Randolph? What are two contributions he made to the Civil Rights Movement between 1920 and 1964?
A. Philip Randolph in a sense, the true father of the Civil Rights Movement, in the United States. He was born in 1889 in Florida. From his father, he learnt early in life that a man's character and conduct is important than his skin color. He carried on this ideology throughout and contributed tremendously in the civil rights movements. He was also the hero of the American labor unionist and a socialist politician.
It is almost impossible to sum up Randolph's achievements in a few lines. However, two of his biggest contributions to the civil rights movement are-
1) In the year 1947, Randolph along with colleague Grant Reynolds, formed the ' Committee Against Jim Crow in Military Service', which was later renamed the League for Non-Violent Civil disobedience.
2) He was the chair of the Great March of Washington, held in 1963 where almost 200 000 to 300 000 people gathered at the capital and this event is considered to be one of the greatest milestones in the history of civil rights movement.
