Franklin Delano Roosevelt Biography
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president of the United States longer than any other president. He led the country through difficult times, including the Great Depression and World War II. At age 39, he was stricken with polio and could no longer walk, but he refused to let his disability prevent him from achieving his goals of public service. As president, Roosevelt introduced programs like the New Deal and Civilian Conservation Corps to give Americans jobs and hope during the Depression. He believed the government could help the people and keep the country going through hard times with his "fireside chats." After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he mobilized the country for war and worked with allies to defeat the Axis powers and establish the United Nations.

A. Philip Randolph: TAH Grant Summer 2012
A. Philip Randolph: TAH Grant Summer 2012The Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy
A. Philip Randolph represented the perfect blend between the civil rights and labor communities. Randolph fully understood the struggle for human and civil rights should involve all of the tools and resources that we had at our disposal. Indeed, Mr. Randolph was the conscience of organized labor in that he sought to get the trade union movement to set its own house in order. He urged and challenged organized labor to join in the struggle of African Americans for freedom and equality. A. Philip Randolph helped to draft the “strongest statement of labor’s position on civil rights ever to come before a convention of the AFL-CIO.” Randolph, the labor leader and civil rights leader was also called a dreamer of dreams.
