Black Men : Labor Day Warrior; A Phillip Randolph!

First off, the provincialism of NYers is a bit wearying. They're almost as boring as Texans with their incessant bragging. I say this only because I got a jolt when the brutha started off by talking about Harlem as if it had anything to do with either the Black Pullman Porter's union or the 1963 March on Washington. **sigh**

At any rate, while I admire the man, I feel the video is skewed in it's admiration. While A. Philip Randolph did start up the Black Pullman Porter's Union, and did THREATEN.... but never did so! ....to march on Washington during FDR's administration, his influence on Dr. King, I feel, is overplayed... and to make him the architect of the 1964 March on Washington is just WRONG! Bayard Rustin was the architect of that march and there is NO denying it.

Nonetheless, God blessed us when He sent us A. Phillip Randolph. :bowdown: :bowdown:

The video was about A. Phillip Randolph particularly. He had a strong presence in NYC. It's not provincialism. A. Phillip Randolph, among other things, ran for New York State Comptroller and Secretary of New York State in the early 1920s. He was active in New York as the narrator said.

1963 March, but yes there is denying of Rustin being Architect. Rustin was the Organizer. A. Phillip Randolph was the Architect.

We travel back in time to Ebony's November 1963 issue:

http://books.google.com/books?id=zvkMMATVAnwC&pg=PA35#v=onepage&q&f=false

One caption reads:
Father of March: Asa Phillip Randolph, who conceived the idea of a March on Washington and became director of the 1963 project, leads surging wave. . . ..​

Another caption reads:

Chief of staff of mammoth operation Bayard Rustin . . .. Rustin organized march . . .. He is given credit for solving logistical problems . . ..​

In the article we see the story more clearly:

They named Randolph director [ . . . ] He chose as his deputy director Bayard Rustin.​
As to the real story Malcolm X put it in his autobiography. The March was the brainchild of Randolph but it was co-opted by Whites and traducers of the race hence Rustin. Today, Homosexuals are making Rustin a big story and many of our Bright are falling for it.

I made my obsveration - I'm tired of the provincialism.

Give us the rest of the article. You know, the part that says Rustin was his subordinate.:10400:
Another caption reads:

Chief of staff of mammoth operation Bayard Rustin . . .. Rustin organized march . . .. He is given credit for solving logistical problems . . ..​
So the Father was the architect and the one who organized the WHOLE SHEBANG just.... there? For the ride, maybe?:11200:

I don't care about your attempt at deflection. I know you're going to bombard this thread with a thousand posts, so I'm saying it for the first and last time: I wasn't talking to you. I was expessing my opinion. It had nothing to do with you and I'd appreciate it if you'd tag onto someone else's posts and talk about Fathers of the March (an honorary title) who organized a March on Washington in the 1940's THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.... and diss the man who did all the work, made all the appointments, chose and coordinated all the speakers, liaisoned with the city, fire police etc., managed the staff, etc. etc. etc.
