Today we remember A. Philip Randolph, born on this day in 1889. Randolph was one of the most important labor leaders of the 20th century, organizing and leading the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the 1920s and fighting for labor and civil rights throughout his lifetime.

#onthisday 1989 1,700 UMWA miners from Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia struck Pittston Coal. The strike lasted nearly 11 months, and the key turning point was the UMWA members' takeover of Pittston’s Moss 3 Preparation Plant. youtube.com/watch?v=xXH2KH… #history #solidarity #1u
