Asa Philip Randolph was born in Crescent City, Florida. He would go on to become one of the most influential labor and civil rights leaders in American history. As the founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters—the first predominantly African American labor union—Randolph fought tirelessly for fair wages and better working conditions for Black workers. He later played a key role in organizing the 1963 March on Washington, cementing his legacy as a bridge between labor rights and civil rights movements.
