Stuck Nation Labor Radio kicks off Black History Month playing the prophetic words of  A. Philip Randolph about how labor style organizing was essential to redeem our nation that was built on slavery.

"In the struggle against these forces all of us should be prepared to take to the streets the spirit and techniques that built the labor movement, founded churches and now guides the civil rights revolution must be a massive crusade, must be launched against the unholy coalition of Dixiecrats and the racists that seek to strangle Congress," A. Philip Randolph said at the 1963 March for Jobs and Justice, Washington D.C. 

On this episode of “What’s Going On?” Joe Wilson, author of Tearing Down the Color Bar: A Documentary History and Analysis of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Larry Hamm, longtime social justice activist; and Charles Hall, president of Local 108 RWDSU-UFCW-AFL-CIO, talk about how Randolph's perspective can help us navigate the challenges we face during the era of Trump 2.0.
