@DavidAstinWalsh David - you can get a $5 dollar beer during happy hour at Tonic, about a hundred yards from where you are currently speaking at GW. And the beer selection is good. FYI.

@davenportofcall And PBS's recent Making Black America (Episode 3) does a good job with Randolph. As for Hubert Harrison, see Jeffrey Perry’s huge two-volume biography and his “Hubert Harrison Reader.”

[Eric Arnesen @EricArnesen]

@davenportofcall While Randolph isn't a household name today & isn't part of the popular standard civil rights narrative, he is getting his academic due. William Jones, Andrew Kersten & David Lucander, along w/ Beth Bates & Cornelius Bynam, have written about him extensively.
