One prominent Executive Secretary in Black history was A. Philip Randolph, who served as the leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) union. Randolph was a significant figure in the civil rights movement and a key advocate for racial equality and workers' rights. As Executive Secretary of the BSCP, he fought against unfair labor practices and discrimination faced by African American workers in the railway industry. Randolph also played a crucial role in organizing the March on Washington Movement in 1941, which pressured President Franklin D. Roosevelt to enact policies banning discrimination in defense industry employment. His efforts paved the way for greater equality and opportunity for African Americans in the workplace.
