No Easy Answers
Bayard Rustin was born in Pennsylvania in the early part of the twentieth century, the grandson of a former slave. A talented singer and musician and a good student, Rustin moved to New York City, where he attended college, became enmeshed in the exciting Harlem Renaissance, and began working as an actvist and organizer for the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. Today, Rustin is remembered as a tireless force, a man who lived his life working for the cause he so fervently believed in, and who struggled to bear two crosses--being black and being homosexual--at a time when one was more than enough.

A. Philip Randolph and the African American Labor Movement
Asa Philip Randolph learned at a young age the feeling of triumph and the danger that comes with standing up against injustice. His parents always encouraged him and his brother to resist the racism they encountered growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, in the early 1900s. When Randolph moved north to pursue an acting career, he rejoiced in the welcoming environment the Harlem Renaissance had created in New York City. There he took college classes, joined organizations, and met people who shared his conviction that discrimination was wrong. Randolph eventually abandoned a career on the stage for a life spent fighting racism. He led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first all-black union, in a long but finally victorious fight against the discriminatory practices of the Pullman Car Company. He became a tireless voice for labor and was the driving force for integrating unions across the country. Affectionately called "The Chief" for his stalwart leadership, Randolph negotiated with presidents and won many victories, including the desegregation of the armed forces.
