THE GEORGE MEANY MEMORIAL ARCHIVES
A. Philip Randolph
1889-1979

"Salvation for a race, nation or class," A. Philip Randolph once said, "must come from within. Freedom is never granted; it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted." Randolph's life was a passionate struggle to achieve the inextricably linked goals of racial freedom and economic justice. For a biographical sketch on Randolph, click here.
