Acknowledgments
I have incurred a great many debts during the pursuit of this project. I particularly wish to thank June Sochen, who introduced me to the study of history as well as to the subject of A. Philip Randolph. In addition to being a mentor, she has become a friend on whom I can always count. Her counsel has been invaluable in this, as in most of my other academic endeavors.
My sincere thanks go also to Josef Barton and Robert Wiebe at Northwestern University for their guidance, and a special thank-you is due George Frederickson (now at Stanford University), who extended himself in countless ways. The example of meticulous scholarship and graceful writing style, in addition to the insights and support, provided by all three helped shape this book in its beginning stages. I would also like to acknowledge Sterling Stuckey, at the University of California, Riverside, who was never too busy to talk and offer encouragement. I am indebted as well to the outside readers of Louisiana State University Press, whose suggestions greatly improved the manuscript. Whatever errors of fact or interpretation that remain are my responsibility alone.
