A. Philip Randolph A Life in the Vanguard

Before the emergence of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., there were several key leaders who fought for civil rights in the United States. Among them was A. Philip Randolph, who perhaps best embodied the hopes, ideals, and aspirations of black Americans. In this concise and engaging new book, historian Andrew Kersten explores Randolph's influences and accomplishments as both a labor and civil rights leader.

Andrew E. Kersten is associate professor of history and chair of Social Change and Development at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay
