Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin as a tool to organize a mass march on Washington, D.C.; designed to pressure the U.S. government into desegregating the armed forces and providing fair working opportunities for African Americans; despite its name, the March on Washington Movement did not lead to an actual march on Washington during this period, as Randolph's requests were met before one could be organized)
