Philip Randolph, who founded the Black Socialist publication The Messenger and would orchestrate the ‘March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom’ in 1963 where Martin Luther King Jr. famously gave his “I Have a Dream Speech,” served as the president and founder of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) in 1925, the first African-American union in the country to be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Through a twelve year fight for recognition as the bargaining agent for porters working at the exploitative Pullman Company, he succeeding in elevating working conditions and pay for porters, setting up divisions of the union throughout the country, and securing an international charter with the union. An advocate for both labor and civil rights, he created the “March on Washington Movement” during World War II and was successful in pushing President Roosevelt to end racial discrimination and segregation in the defense industries.

Philip Randolph’s FBI files and personal papers on microfilm, countless images and correspondence of Randolph with labor leaders and Martin Luther King Jr.; as well as the records of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Records on microfilm.
