阿萨·菲利普·伦道夫是美国工会主义者、民权活动家和社会党政治家。1925年,他组织并领导了卧车搬运工兄弟会,这是第一个以非裔美国人为主的工会。在早期民权运动和劳工运动中,伦道夫是一个不会被压制的声音。
I don't ever remember a single day of hopelessness. I knew from the history of the labor movement, especially of the black people, that it was an undertaking of great trial. That, live or die, I had to stick with it, and we had to win.
我永远都不记得有一天的绝望。 从工人运动的历史,尤其是黑人运动的历史中,我知道这是一次艰辛的尝试。 无论是生是死,我都必须坚持下去,我们必须赢。
