INTRODUCTION
A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979) was one of the leading black protest leaders of the twentieth
century. He was best known as the editor of the Messenger (a radical Socialist journal), as
organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and as the leader of the 1941 and 1963
Marches on Washington.
Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, as the son of an American Methodist Episcopalian minister
and a deeply religious mother, he attended the Cookman Institute, and in 1911 went to New
York City to pursue studies at City College. In New York he held a number of menial jobs,
married Lucille Green in 1914, and became immersed in a Socialist and radical milieu. He
became well known as one of Harlem's best street corner orators. With Chandler Owen he
founded the Messenger in 1917, a magazine that during its early years criticized the established
black leadership, and advocated socialism and the organizing of the working masses. During
World War I, Randolph and Owen were arrested and held briefly, and their journal was
temporarily suppressed for opposing the war effort.
Because of the reputation that Randolph had established, several porters asked him, in 1925,
to lead the organizing of a union of sleeping car porters. Following a decade of struggle with the
Pullman Company, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) finally achieved
recognition as the collective bargaining agent in 1935; two years later the Brotherhood signed
its first contract.
With the BSCP as his base, Randolph functioned as an articulate spokesman for black
aspirations. He fought for the legal equality of blacks as a whole and for the economic rights of
black workers. During the late 1930s he served as the president of the broad popular front
coalition: the National Negro Congress. The 1941 March on Washington Movement (MOWM),
which resulted in the formation of the wartime Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC),
served to solidify his role as a national protest leader. Although the march was never held, the
threat of this militant strategy, backed in addition by the leaders of other black organizations,
forced Roosevelt to issue Executive Order #8802, and identified Randolph as the leading
advocate of direct action tactics before the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the mid-1950s. Thus
Randolph received considerable attention in 1948 when he threatened to use civil disobedience
to eliminate segregation in the armed services.
From the mid-1930s on, Randolph persistently had raised the question of racist practices
within the ranks of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). He continued to do so after the
merger of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and Committee on Industrial Organization
(CIO) in 1955, when he served as one of the vice-presidents of the combined organizations.
Randolph also was a founder and president of the Negro American Labor Council (NALC), an
organization of black trade unionists that was created in 1959 to broaden the struggle against
racism in the House of Labor.
Randolph's final triumph was the 1963 March on Washington. During the 1950s, working with
Martin Luther King, Jr. and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP), Randolph had been a significant force in previous demonstrations held in the nation's
capital: the 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage and the 1958-59 Youth Marches for Integrated Schools.
Coming at the peak of the use of nonviolent direct action in the 1960s, the 1963 March for "Jobs
and Freedom" epitomized Randolph's strategy of creating broad-based coalitions and
combining them with mass action, and paved the way for the passage of the Civil Rights Bill of
1964.
The Papers of A. Philip Randolph at the Library of Congress document several important
aspects of Randolph's career. They are particularly strong for the period since the Second
World War. They illuminate Randolph's role in the Socialist party and in creating coalitions with
other groups on behalf of labor, civil rights, and civil liberties. The collection also supplies
important documentation for subjects such as Randolph's role both in combatting Communist
influence in the black community and in opposing on principle the red-baiting of the American
left. Finally, the collection is an important source for Randolph's efforts in working to eliminate
racial discrimination in the trade union movement.
Other collections in the Black Studies Research Sources series that also bear on Randolph's
life and work are the Papers of Bayard Rustin, his close confidant over a period of three
decades; the Papers of the National Negro Congress; Federal Surveillance of Afro-Americans
(1917-1925); and the Records of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

The A. Philip Randolph Collection consists of the following series: Family Papers, 19421963; General Correspondence, 1925-1978; Subject Files, 1909-1978; Speeches and Writings
File, 1941-1978; Biographical File, 1945-1979; and Miscellany, 1920-1979.
Family Papers
This series consists largely of notes, birthday cards, etc. between Randolph and his wife
Lucille and also condolences sent to Randolph upon Lucille's death on April 12,1963. Although
scattered and often brief, the letters between A. Philip and Lucille evidence great devotion and
affection.
General Correspondence, 1926-1978
The General Correspondence series touches on a wide range of Randolph's lifetime
activities, including early efforts to organize the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the mid
and late 1920s; Randolph's feud with Robert L. Vann, publisher of the Pittsburgh Courier, over
the integrity of including the Chicago Negro Labor Conference and New Deal labor legislation;
Randolph's early acquaintance with Christian pacifist philosophy at Kings Mountain Christian
Labor Retreat; Communist activity within the BSCP in the 1930s; World War ll-era labor
relations (especially efforts to have blacks represented on the War Manpower Commission) and
the campaign for the FEPG (as well as for a permanent FEPC after the war); the 1941 March on
Washington movement; the development of the postwar civil rights coalition (including the black
church, civil rights organizations, white Christian and Jewish liberals, and the remnant of the
Socialist party); developments in the south with regard to voting rights of African-Americans
after the demise of the white primary; efforts to resuscitate the Socialist party in the late 1940s
and 1950s; enthusiasm for anticolonial movements in Africa in the 1950s; White House
Conferences on Civil Rights with American presidents; the 1963 March on Washington; Great
Society legislation; the development of the Negro American Labor Conference in the 1960s and
of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and more.
Key correspondents in the General Correspondence series include several of Randolph's
chief lieutenants within the BSCP, notably Roy Lancaster, Bennie Smith, Ashley Totten, Milton
P. Webster, and C. L. Dellums. Many prominent American political figures, including every
American president from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Jimmy Carter, appear in the series. A partial
list includes Norman Thomas, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hubert H. Humphrey, Francis Cardinal
Spellman, Oswald Garrison Villard, Jacob J. Javits, Clarence Senior, Harry Laidler, Drew
Pearson, Nelson Rockefeller, Sargent Shriver, Wart W Rostow, John V. Lindsey, and many
others.
An even larger number of prominent black civil rights leaders are represented in the series,
including Chandler B. Owen, George E. Haynes, Rep. Oscar DePriest, Pauli Murray, Walter F.
White, Roy Wilkins, Bayard Rustin, Ralph Bunche, Ella J. Baker, Martin Luther King, Whitney
Young, Jackie Robinson, Clarence Mitchell, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Ralph D. Abernathy,
James Baldwin, James Farmer, Coretta Scott King, Lillian Speight, and Stokeley Carmichael.
A number of prominent white intellectuals and civil rights activists are represented in the
series, including, John Haynes Holmes, Channing H. Tobias, Charles Wesley Burton, Morris
Milgram, A. J. Muste, Daniel Bell, Broadus Mitchell, Alfred Baker Lewis, Aubrey Williams,
James T. Farrell, Stanley D. Levinson, and Lillian Smith.

Milgram, A. J. Muste, Daniel Bell, Broadus Mitchell, Alfred Baker Lewis, Aubrey Williams,
James T. Farrell, Stanley D. Levinson, and Lillian Smith.
Also to be found throughout the series are papers of a number of Randolph loyalists from the
Christian pacifist movement and lesser known civil rights workers, including Layle Lane, Bill
Worthy, Tom Kahn, Roberta Church, Hazel Alves, and Grant Reynolds.
Materials from numerous American labor leaders also appear throughout the series, including
those of William Green, John L. Lewis, E. J. Manion, Matthew Woll, Maida Springer, David J.
McDonald, Emanuel Muravchick, Walter P. Reuther, George Meany, and the BSCP leaders
mentioned above.
Despite the wide range of subjects and correspondents appearing in the General
Correspondence series, few issues are covered in much depth. It provides an overview of
Randolph's career and his universe of political allies, but for most purposes, much more
information is to be found in the larger Subject File series. Researchers should use the subject
and name index of the user guide to coordinate research between these two series. The list of
major correspondents and key subjects outlined above would expand greatly if reference of
names and index were extended to the Subject File. A survey of the name index at the back of
this finding aid will reveal many more prominent political, civil rights, and labor leaders; and a
survey of the subject index will similarly enlarge the range of major topics that can be explored
in the collection.
The General Correspondence is arranged chronologically by year. Within each folder the
correspondence is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the correspondent. In the cases
of American presidents, correspondence is often carried on under the name of White House
assistants, such as Bryce Harlow for Eisenhower, or Douglas Cater, Joseph Califano, and many
others for Johnson.
Subject File, 1909-1978
The Subject File series is the heart of the A. Philip Randolph collection. It is arranged
alphabetically by subject, and the user guide provides greater detail by listing "major topics" for
each file folder. The largest clusters of subjects include the BSCP, Committee to End Jim Crow
in the Armed Services, Fair Employment Practices Committee, March on Washington
movement, White House Conferences, and Youth March for Integrated Schools.
The file on the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is especially well developed for the
period 1941 through 1945, when an active correspondence took place between Randolph and
his chief lieutenants in the union. This material complements the BSCP materials in the General
Correspondence series, which tend to date from the 1920s and 1930s. Along with a great deal
on routine union business•such as formulating grievances, arbitrating internal union problems,
maintaining the finances, and relations with the Pullman Company•the BSCP series reflects
much in the way of political activism on behalf of Randolph and the union. Subjects of frequent
interest include the March on Washington, the FEPC, and Communist activity in the black
community. The 1950 Convention file, prepared for its 25th anniversary, contains a great deal of
historical material on the BSCP.
The smaller but significant file on the Committee to End Jim Crow in the Armed Services,
documents one of A. Philip Randolph's greatest achievements: his pivotal role in pressuring the
federal government to confront and rescind its segregationist policies in the U.S. military. The
tension between Randolph and the NAACP over his bold strategy of calling for draft resistance
by blacks to force President Truman's hand is apparent in many of the documents in the files.
The file on the Fair Employment Practices Committee largely documents Randolph's
leadership in the effort to establish a permanent federal FEPC after the wartime authorization
for the agency expired in 1945. The agency was established to monitor provisions against racial
discrimination in all government agencies and contractors. Despite the preponderance of later
material, there are some materials relating to the operation of the wartime agency itself, which
was created in response to Randolph's threat to embarrass the wartime administration of
Franklin D. Roosevelt by leading a mass protest march of blacks to Washington (see March on
viii
Washington Movement file below). By 1946 the National Committee for a Permanent FEPC
headed by Randolph comprised over 120 local councils that were organized in practically every
state. This body of records documents Randolph's coalition-building strategies, using religious
(especially Christian and Jewish) organizations and the fledging American labor movement as
his principal bases of support outside the black community. Randolph adroitly linked antiblack
discrimination with anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic discrimination, particularly in unionized urban
areas. By 1947 much of the attention focuses on congressional lobbying efforts. The permanent
FEPC bill was consistent victim to filibusters by southern senators, however. Yet while efforts
floundered at the federal level, the files show that several states were effectively pressured into
enacting state FEPCs.
The March on Washington Movement file contains much more than the FEPC file on the
World War II era. In 1942 Randolph organized a national network of civil rights advocates who
were prepared to follow him on a march to the nation's capital to protest segregation in the
military and blatant economic discrimination against blacks in war production industries.
Although Randolph called off the march after an eleventh-hour meeting with President
Roosevelt resulting in an executive order establishing a federal FEPC, the nonevent was a
watershed in American political history as a testimony to the power of nonviolent protest. The
success of the MOWM cast a long shadow on subsequent civil rights activism in the United
States. The correspondence reveals much in the planning of the march ("no spirituals that
suggest resignation or weakness"), the publicity strategy within black communities (especially in
New York, Chicago, and Washington), and more. There is also a lot of material that documents
the key role played by women in the MOWM, notably executive secretary Pauline Myers, Layle
Lane in New York City, and the forceful Pauli Murray. Although desegregation in the military
was not achieved until 1947, the objective is a pervasive theme in the March on Washington
Movement files, particularly in files on the Winfred Lynn case. Lynn was a black draftee who
refused to serve in a segregrated army unit, and his case was handled by the Socialist Workers
Defense League. Also prominent in the March on Washington Movement files are complaints to
federal officials about discrimination and brutality in war production industries, including letters
to Attorney General Francis Biddle, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, and Franklin and
Eleanor Roosevelt. Problems in containing Communist influence within the movement also
surface from time to time.
The file on White House Conferences begins with President Truman's administration and
runs through the Johnson administration (for meetings with FDR, see the March on Washington
Movement series; there are no records of meetings with President Kennedy, but see the
General Correspondence series for the early 1960s). The Truman meeting, which Randolph
attended at the head of a large delegation of prominent black leaders, focused on economic
discrimination and the desire to enact a permanent FEPC, although the subject of Jim Crow
segregation in the nation's capital was also present. The Eisenhower meeting focused mostly
on vigilante violence against civil rights advocates in the south. The Johnson meeting covered
Randolph's ambitious plan "To Fulfill These Rights," which would extend Great Society
initiatives to include a guaranteed annual income.
The Youth March for Integrated Schools was yet another of Randolph's nonviolent direct
action projects. The plan to host a major youth rally in Washington, D.C. materialized when
President Eisenhower refused to be more forceful in implementing school desegration in the
South in the late 1950s. The march, which featured a rousing address by Martin Luther King,
Jr., was subjected to intense red-baiting by opponents.
A number of smaller files in the Subject File series bear brief notice. The American
Committee on Africa file documents Randolph's commitment to and interest in anticolonial
struggles in Africa in the 1950s. The Speeches and Writings series below contains a lengthy
essay on African liberation written during an African visit Randolph made in the 1960s. The
Africa Correspondence file documents Randolph's efforts to move the American Federation of
Labor to action against South Africa because of its apartheid policies.
The file on the Emergency Committee for Unity on Social and Economic Problems deals with
problems leading to race riots in Harlem in the 1960s, including educational and economic
deprivation, drug addiction, and friction between blacks and Jews. Malcolm X is one of the
principal correspondents and subjects of the file.
The file on the In Friendship Committee documents efforts to assist victims of vigilante
violence and economic reprisals in the southern states in the 1950s. The Committee to Defend
Martin Luther King file documents Randolph's assistance to King during his prosection by the
state of Alabama.
The file on Labor contains a significant amount of material on Randolph's work, inside the
AFL-CIO, to counter discrimination against blacks by labor unions in the 1950s and 1960s.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor secretary, is a key figure in these files, which contain complaints to
the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department. The labor federation censured Randolph in 1961 for his
public protests against discrimination within AFL-CIO unions. Randolph replied with a visionary
memorandum to the AFL-CIO Executive Council that warned of a widening gulf between the
black community and the organized labor movement (see the Memorandum, 1961 folder).
There are also allegations of collaboration between some AFL-CIO locals and segregationist
White Citizen's Councils. An additional Labor subseries documents Randolph's longstanding
interest in the West Indian labor movement.
The Negro American Labor Council (NALC) was the main vehicle through which Randolph
worked to counter discrimination within the AFL and CIO in the 1960s. There are several files
under this organization.
The Messenger file contains copies of a Federal Bureau of Investigation report on Randolph
and Chandler B. Owen, publishers of the radical Messenger magazine during WWI.
The file on the National Educational Committee for a New Party documents Randolph's
interest in efforts to resuscitate the Socialist party in the late 1940s.
The National Negro Congress file documents Randolph's efforts to form a depression era
alliance between Communist and non-Communist civil rights activists and the disintegration of
the scheme with his resignation. There are materials documenting Senator Joseph McCarthy's
red-baiting of Randolph because of his involvement with the NNC.
The Prayer Pilgrimage file covers yet another of Randolph's direct-action publicity projects
that, in the late 1950s, attempted to spur deeper federal commitment for civil rights legislation.
Speeches and Writings File, 1941-1978
This series contains a massive amount of Randolph's writing on a wide range of subjects.
Some of the documents are transcripts of radio talks and testimony before government bodies.
The length varies from a page or two to more than twenty pages. Most of the writings are
carefully argued positions. Taken together they reveal a remarkable consistency in Randolph's
thought, at least in his mature years after 1941. They reveal Randolph's thinking on Christian
pacifism, the role of blacks in American society (and in American history), the role of organized
labor in modern society, anticolonial struggles in Africa and Asia, current events such as
vigilante violence against blacks, directions in American politics, cold war developments,
communism and anticommunism, and more. There is a file at the end of the Speeches and
Writings series called Research Notes and Related Material, which consists mainly of draft
essays. The sixth undated folder of this file contains notes for an autobiography.
Biographical File, 1945-1979
The Biographical File consists mainly of articles and biographies about Randolph, including
birthday tributes and memorials. Many of the items also discuss Randolph's life-long interest in
nonviolent civil disobedience, the Black Power movement, labor, and civil rights. The authors
include not only Randolph's distant admirers but also close friends and associates like George
Meany, Bayard Rustin, and Roy Wilkins (as well as some interviews and notes by Randolph
himself). Several items have been omitted because of copyright restrictions, but they are open
to researchers in the original collection at the Library of Congress.
Miscellany File, 1920-1979
The only items to be microfilmed from this series are the scrapbooks. The first large
scrapbook begins in 1926 and contains a large amount of printed material on the early efforts to
organize the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. So far as is known, most of this material is
not duplicated in any other collections that document the early years of the BSCP. These
materials include programs of BSCP conventions in the 1920s and circular letters from
Randolph and other BSCP leaders to rank-and-file Pullman porters.
The scrapbooks are roughly chronological with wide areas that overlap. The second large
scrapbook dates from 1941-1943 and covers extensively the campaign for the Fair
Employment Practices Committee. It also touches on the Detroit race riot of 1943, a New York
City race riot in 1943, and a Beaumont, Texas, race riot. There are also clippings about wartime
lynchings and police brutality. The subject descriptions provided in the user guide for each of
the scrapbooks provide a significant amount of detail on their contents.

Randolph Collection at the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress.
EDITORIAL NOTE
A few widely scattered items have been omitted from the microfilm because of copyright
restrictions. In each case where an item, such as an academic thesis, was omitted, a target
appears on the microfilm that identifies the missing item. These items are open to researchers
in the original at the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress.
Everything from the last series of the collection•Miscellany, 1920-1979•has been omitted
from the microfilm except for the scrapbooks. The omitted material consists largely of
appointment books, telephone directories, and shorthand notebooks, which were determined to
be of minimal research value relative to their shelf volume. A significant amount of the omitted
Miscellany material also consists of printed and copyrighted matter, especially articles about
Randolph from news magazines, which was omitted for copyright concerns. Finally, there are
some travel documents in the Miscellany series, including passports, which were also omitted.
These materials are open to researchers in the original collection at the Manuscripts Division of
the Library of Congress.
Aside from these exclusions, each of the series of the A. Philip Randolph collection has been
microfilmed in its entirety for this edition.
