A. 菲利普·兰道夫 A. Philip Randolph
Content Introduction
中文
A. 菲利普·兰道夫(A. Philip Randolph,1889年5月15日-1979年5月16日)是一位非裔美国民权领袖、社会主义者和工会组织者。他被广泛认为是美国民权运动中最重要的人物之一。兰道夫出生于哥伦比亚特区,早年就参与了争取非裔美国人权利的斗争。
兰道夫最著名的成就之一是领导了1925年至1937年的“睡车搬运工罢工”。在那个时代,黑人睡车搬运工承受着极端恶劣的工作条件和极低的工资。在兰道夫的领导下,他们进行了一系列的罢工和抗议活动,最终迫使铁路公司改善了工作条件和提高了工资。这次罢工成为美国民权运动的一个重要里程碑,也为后来的民权运动奠定了基础。
除了领导罢工,兰道夫还创立并领导了“兄弟车厢搬运工兄弟会”(Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters),这是美国第一个主要由非裔美国人领导的工会。他倡导“公平就业”的理念,反对种族歧视,积极争取非裔美国人的平等权利。在二战期间,兰道夫威胁要在华盛顿举行大规模的示威游行,要求罗斯福总统在国防工业中废除种族隔离政策。最终,罗斯福总统屈服于兰道夫的压力,签署了总统第8802号行政命令,禁止在国防工业中进行种族歧视。
兰道夫的贡献不仅体现在具体的罢工和抗议活动中,更在于他为美国民权运动注入了新的活力和理念。他强调非暴力抵抗的重要性,但同时又主张当必要的时候,要采取强硬的手段来争取权利。他的领导才能和战略眼光,对美国民权运动的发展起到了至关重要的作用,为后来的马丁·路德·金等民权领袖奠定了坚实的基础。

A. Philip Randolph (May 15, 1889 – May 16, 1979) was an African-American civil rights leader, socialist, and labor organizer. He is widely considered one of the most important figures in the American Civil Rights Movement. Born in Washington, D.C., Randolph was involved in the struggle for African-American rights from a young age.
One of Randolph's most notable achievements was leading the 'Sleeping Car Porter’s strike' from 1925 to 1937. During that era, Black sleeping car porters endured extremely harsh working conditions and extremely low wages. Under Randolph's leadership, they staged a series of strikes and protests, ultimately forcing the railway companies to improve working conditions and raise wages. This strike became a significant milestone in the American Civil Rights Movement and laid the foundation for future civil rights movements.
In addition to leading strikes, Randolph founded and led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first major labor union led by African Americans in the United States. He championed the concept of 'fair employment', opposed racial discrimination, and actively fought for equal rights for African Americans. During World War II, Randolph threatened to hold a massive demonstration in Washington, D.C., demanding that President Roosevelt abolish segregation in the defense industry. Eventually, President Roosevelt succumbed to Randolph's pressure and signed Executive Order 8802, prohibiting racial discrimination in the defense industry.
Randolph's contributions were not merely reflected in specific strikes and protests but also in his infusion of new energy and ideas into the American Civil Rights Movement. He stressed the importance of nonviolent resistance but also advocated the use of strong measures to fight for rights when necessary. His leadership and strategic vision played a crucial role in the development of the American Civil Rights Movement, laying a solid foundation for later civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr.
