Sally Hanley's A. Philip Randolph
This book is filled with many interesting facts about A. Philip Randolph. Beginning his life as a little black boy in Crescent City FL, he later attended four colleges, and became the longtime head of the Union of Sleeping Car Porters. He was known for his great communication skills, both speaking and writing. He also was a good actor in his college drama productions.

Because of his height and being very slim, he earned the nickname of "Stringbean" as a teen-ager.

His experiences in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, where his father was an effective minister, contributed to his persuasive speaking skills.

This book was a great help to me during Black History Month in third grade at Stoddert Elementary in DC. It was the basis of my monthly writing assignment. Mrs. Levy gave me a wonderful grade, because I used this book as my major resource.

I would highly recommend this book for students in third through sixth grades. It gave a great view of the life of Philip Randolph and his achievements in winning many benefits for his fellow African-Americans.

It gave the reader a vast overview of the life and times of one of the most prolific civil rights activists. it chronicled his life and told of achievements such as his founding of the Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car porters, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, and his membership in Phi Beta Sigma International Fraternity, Inc.
