#OnThisDay in 1889, the world welcomed a beacon of unwavering determination and unyielding courage: A. Philip Randolph, a G.O.A.T in the records of civil rights activism. (pictured; center)

Renowned for his advocacy of workers' rights, Mr. Randolph used his pen as a beacon of change in 1917-1928, editing the awareness magazine, The Messenger, to rally support for the black labor movement. In 1925, he forged a historic path by leading The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Maids, the first labor organization led by Black individuals to receive a charter in the American Federation of Labor.

Yet, Randolph's impact transcended the labor sphere. He ignited the movement to desegregate the armed forces, played a pivotal role in organizing the iconic March on Washington, and marched tirelessly from Selma to Montgomery, leaving an indelible mark on the fight for equality.
