Asa Philip Randolph was born April 15, 1889 in Crescent City, Florida, one of two sons of Reverend James William and Elizabeth Robinson Randolph, both descendants of slaves. Asa Randolph’s father was an educated minister of an African Methodist Episocopalian (AME)church, that was already widely known as a meeting place and melting pot for black politics from as far back as the eighteen-hundreds. Later Randolph and his family relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he excelled in his studies at the Cookman Institute (the first high school for African-American’s in Florida) After graduation and with no funds for college Randolph was forced to enter the work force, later in 1911 Randolph would relocate and find himself in Harlem, New York. During this time Randolph found himself in a virtual melting pot with a mixture a black Americans from the south migrating north and many European immigrants arriving every day Harlem was becoming overcrowded and mostly unemployed. |
