Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was one of the most effective black trade unionists in America. Once known as "the most dangerous black man in America," he was a radical journalist, a labor leader, and a pioneer of civil rights strategies. His protegé Bayard Rustin noted that, "With the exception of W.E.B. Du Bois, he was probably the greatest civil rights leader of the twentieth century until Martin Luther King."Scholarship has traditionally portrayed Randolph as an atheist and anti-religious, his connections to African American religion either ignored or misrepresented. Taylor places Randolph within the context of American religious history and uncovers his complex relationship to African American religion. She demonstrates that Randolph?s religiosity covered a wide spectrum of liberal Protestant beliefs, from a religious humanism on the left, to orthodox theological positions on the right, never straying far from his African Methodist roots. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xReligion 606 $aCivil rights$xReligious aspects$vCase studies 606 $aReligion and politics$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican American labor leaders$vBiography$vJuvenile literature 606 $aCivil rights workers$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xReligion. 615 0$aCivil rights$xReligious aspects 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aAfrican American labor leaders 615 0$aCivil rights workers 676 $a323.092 700 $aTaylor$b Cynthia$f1954-$01461741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996571869203316 996 $aA.
