Gentle Warrior: A. Philip Randolph (1889 - 1979) | Communications Workers of America

The Communication Workers of America - CWA recognize A. Philip Randolph and his contributions to the American Labor and Civil Rights Movements.

"The words and deeds of A. Philip Randolph show us the unyielding strength of his life-long struggle for full human rights for the Blacks and all the disinherited of the nation. In his cry for freedom and justice, Mr. Randolph echoed the fury of all the enslaved. It is a fight for freedom with the kind of desperate strength that only deep wounds can call forth. With none of his words, however, does Mr. Randolph turn aside the help of others. From the day of his arrival in Harlem in 1911, Mr. Randolph was in the thick of the struggle for freedom for Black Americans."
