A. Philip Randolph, Pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement by Paula F. Pfeffer - Scholars of the civil rights movement and twentieth-century African-American history refer to Asa Philip Randoph (1889-1979) as the organizer of the first all-black labor union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The author show Randolph's efforts were essential to the formation of the first Fair Employment Practices Committee and the integration of the armed services in the 1940s. He planned many effective protests – sit-ins, the 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage, and two Youth Marches for Integrated Schools – to preserve African-American integrity while seeking racial parity. The 1963 March on Washington - for which Randolph was an organizing force - was a renewal of his attempted March on Washington of 1941. (from the back cover)
