25¢ A. Philip Randolph
Black Heritage Series

Issue Date: February 3, 1989
City: New York, NY

The twelfth stamp in the Black Heritage Series honors A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979), a respected and outspoken proponent of the rights of minority labor. He was greatly feared by his opponents, not because of his temperament, but because of his power to create change. He was named Vice-President of the AFL-CIO in 1957. Randolph was also the founder of both the March on Washington Movement and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which helped organize African-American labor.
