A Philip Randolph Institute-ORLANDO Chapter

A Philip Randolph Institute-ORLANDO Chapter A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, APRl's co-founders, they foght for workers' rights and civil rights were inseparable.

We need labor union members interested in Social and Economic Justice & Get-Out-to-VOTE in the African-American Community in Seminole, Osceola, Orange and Lake counties. Randolph (1889-1979) was the greatest black labor leader in American history and the father of the modern American civil rights movement. Rustin (1912-1987), a leading civil rights and labor activist and strategist, was the chief

organizer of the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and Randolph's greatest protege. Randolph and Rustin forged an alliance between the civil rights movement and the labor movement. They recognized that blacks and working people of all colors share the same goals: political and social freedom and economic justice. This Black-Labor Alliance helped the civil rights movement achieve one of its greatest victories - passage of the Voting Rights Act, which removed the last remaining legal harriers to broad black political participation. Inspired by this success, Randolph and Rustin founded A. Philip Randolph Institute in 1965 to continue the struggle for social, political and economic justice for all working Americans. APRI is an Organization of Black Trade Unionist to Fight for Racial Equality and Economic Justice.
