Original Exhibition Caption: Eleanor Roosevelt's involvement with the Civil Rights Movement began in the early 1930s and continued until her death in 1962. Her work with labor leader and civil rights activist A. Philip Randolph on anti-discrimination initiatives spanned three decades. Given her prominence and her long association with Randolph, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the other organizers of a January 1960 Carnegie Hall tribute to Randolph were eager to enlist her participation in the event. ER accepted King's invitation to attend.
