We mourn the passing of civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson, a fearless voice for justice who marched, preached, organized, and never stopped believing in the power of the people.

A. Philip Randolph, (1889-1979), is regarded as America’s leading mid-20th Century African American social rights activist. In the 1940’s, he planned 2 marches on Washington, D.C. (1941 & 1948), one as a protest against segregation in the military & the other to discrimination.
