Summary
Summary
A quitter never wins and a winner never quits, vowed A. Philip Randolph. By the time he spearheaded the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Randolph had already devoted forty years to the African-American struggle for social and economic justice. He also organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first labor union for black workers in a white-owned business. Equal opportunity, equal pay, equal treatment, largely because of Randolph's efforts, African Americans today in all fields are entitled to these rights.
