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.
