A. Philip Randolph canceled his planned March on Washington in 1941 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order prohibiting racial discrimination in defense industries and promoting equal employment opportunities for African Americans. This decision was seen as a significant victory for civil rights activists and addressed some of the grievances that had prompted the march. Randolph believed that the executive order made the march unnecessary, yet he continued to advocate for civil rights and labor issues through other means.
A. Philip Randolph planned the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 to protest racial discrimination and economic inequality faced by African Americans. He aimed to draw attention to issues such as job discrimination, segregation, and the need for civil rights legislation. The march sought to unite various civil rights organizations and advocate for comprehensive reforms, including the passage of the Civil Rights Act and economic opportunities for all. Randolph's leadership was instrumental in mobilizing thousands to demand justice and equality.

A. Philip Randolph initially canceled the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1942 due to pressure from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who sought to avoid potential racial unrest during World War II. However, he later revived the plan for the march in 1963, which became a pivotal event in the civil rights movement, highlighting issues of racial inequality and economic justice. The 1963 march culminated in Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.
