he is principally noted for beginning to -- for his efforts in organizing the porters, sleeping car porters on trains who were all african-americans and middle 20th century and he -- earlier. nearly 10,000 of them who have never been unionized before. he was able to do that and finally worked out a contract with -- in 1937 with pullman. then went to the afl-cio where they were able to gain an international charter. that was his major contribution . but to me what was so important was the work that he did with dr. martin luther king jr. because it was he who organized the march on washington for jobs and freedom august 28, 1963. i was a lawyer that was at that march. the first one that drew over 200,000 people and had a great effect on us moving to enact the civil rights act of 1964. there are books about him, but the story that i like to tell is about the time that he challenged president roosevelt to end the desegregation in the military and in the military factories, the industries that were making war materials to end desegregation. then in a historic meeting with president roosevelt, pr
