AUGUST 9 -- TWU Local 100 is participating in the A. Philip Randolph Institute's 54th annual National Educational Conference in Chicago, Illinois. The Conference was founded by noted civil rights and labor leaders A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin. You can read more about the history of the APRI here.
APRI unites action for civil rights and for labor. TWU Local 100 Training and Upgrading Director Charles Jenkins, who is also the Executive Chair of our Civil & Human Rights Committee, is attending along with Brothers and Sisters from TWU Local 291. In the photos Jenkins stands with TWU members along with APRI President Clayola Brown (along with Al Sharpton) and noted actor and activist Danny Glover.
Today the conference marched in the Bud Billiken Parade, which commemorates the past and celebrates the future of Black excellence, youth, and community. It's the largest parade in the US next to the Rose Bowl.
