A. Philip Randolph Institute

The A. Philip Randolph Institute was established by Asa Philip Randolph in 1966. Asa Philip Randolph is credited with organizing and initiating the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, one of the most iconic and largest political rallies for human rights in United States history. Speakers at the March included Martin Luther King (SCLC), Floyd McKissick (CORE), John Lewis (SNCC), Roy Wilkins (NAACP), Witney Young (National Urban League) and Walter Reuther (AFL-CIO). Martin Luther King concluded the March with his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The San Francisco Chapter carries on Asa Philip Randolph's legacy today continuing the fight for jobs and freedom.
