Report of the Proceedings of the…Biennial Convention, 1942

This is a copy of the proceedings of the first wartime meeting of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. It contains a report from A. Philip Randolph on the activities of the union during 1942. If President Franklin Roosevelt had not intervened, it would have also covered the March on Washington that Randolph had wanted to organize, until a presidential appeal for wartime unity convinced him to call it off.
