Power, and a New Kind of Politics
Randolph understood that dignity wasn’t a slogan. It was a contract, a paycheck, and a ballot.

The photograph of A. Philip Randolph that endures most stubbornly is not a portrait softened by time. It is a face set against the pressure of history—broad, unblinking, unseduced by applause. He looked like a man who had learned, through repetition, that the country’s grand ideals were negotiable only when people without power found a way to make themselves costly to ignore. Randolph did not invent the moral language of Black freedom. What he helped invent—patiently, and with an organizer’s suspicion of symbolism unbacked by structure—was the machinery that could convert that language into institutional change.

Today, we pause to honor and remember former Wilmington Mayor Michael S. Purzycki — a visionary leader whose impact on the City of Wilmington and the State of Delaware will not be forgotten. 🕊️🙏🏾

From transforming the Wilmington Riverfront into a thriving destination to serving two terms as mayor of Delaware’s largest city, Mayor Purzycki dedicated decades of his life to public service, economic development, and the advancement of Wilmington. A former professional football player, attorney, developer, and public servant, he leaves behind a legacy of leadership, resilience, and commitment to community.

As mayor, he led the city through the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic while advancing housing reforms and neighborhood stabilization initiatives aimed at strengthening Wilmington families and communities.

On behalf of the A. Philip Randolph Institute – Delaware Chapter, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives were touched by his leadership and service.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 ✝️

Rest well, Mayor Purzycki. Thank you for your service to Wilmington and to Delaware. 💙

— Dr. Nakishia W. Bailey
President, A. Philip Randolph Institute – Delaware Chapter
