One notable Black-led labor strike in Black history was the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) strike in the 1920s and 1930s. The BSCP was a labor union founded by A. Philip Randolph, a prominent African American labor and civil rights leader. The union represented African American porters who worked on the Pullman Company's luxurious sleeper trains.

The BSCP fought for better wages, working conditions, and job security for Black porters, who faced discrimination and exploitation in the railroad industry. In 1925, the union launched a campaign to secure recognition from the Pullman Company, but faced fierce resistance from the company and the American Railway Union.

Despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks, the BSCP continued its organizing efforts and in 1937, the union won a landmark victory when the Pullman Company finally recognized it as the collective bargaining representative of the porters. This made the BSCP the first Black-led labor union to secure a contract with a major U.S. corporation.

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters strike and subsequent victory was a significant moment in Black labor history, demonstrating the power of collective action and the resilience of Black workers in the face of systemic racism and exploitation. It also paved the way for future advancements in Black labor rights and equality in the United States.
