Answer 1

Answer:

Founded in 1925, The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) was the first labor organization led by African Americans to receive a charter in the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The BSCP gathered a membership of 18,000 passenger railway workers across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.[1] Beginning after the American Civil War, the job of Pullman porter had become an important means of work in the black community in the United States.[2] As a result of a decline in railway transportation in the 1960s, BSCP membership declined. It merged in 1978 with the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks (BRAC), now known as the Transportation Communications International Union.[1]

Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters founder A. Philip Randolph, the public face of the union, as he appeared in 1942.

The leaders of the BSCP—including A. Philip Randolph, its founder and first president,[3] Milton Webster, vice president and lead negotiator, and C. L. Dellums,[4] vice president and second president—became leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, especially concerning fair employment[5] and continued to play a significant role in the movement after it focused on the eradication of segregation in the Southern United States. BSCP members such as E. D. Nixon were among the leadership of local desegregation movements by virtue of their organizing experience, constant movement between communities, and freedom from economic dependence on local authorities
