Discuss the issues and problems that faced A Philip Randolph preparing for the March on Washington.

In preparing for the March on Washington, Randolph had to gain the support of other civil rights movement leaders. He invited other civil rights leaders to join in the march, but very few accepted his offer, because they were engaged in other matters related to their organizations. There was also opposition from J. Edgar Hoover, who was against the civil rights movement at the time. He accused Randolph and his team of being communists and secretly driving the communist agenda in the United States. Randolph also faced opposition from Malcolm X, who told his supporters not to take part in the march because he believed it was a joke. Malcolm X believed that the march was political and in no way aimed at fighting for the rights of African Americans. There were also threats from the Ku Klux Clan and the American Nazi Party, who said that they'd interfere if the march actually happened. There was also some opposition from JFK initially, but he allowed the march to happen after the leaders stood their ground. Interestingly, the march ended at Lincoln Memorial instead of Capitol Hill because Randolph and his team didn't want to make the Congress feel as if they were being attacked. They needed Congress to pass laws that would create more freedom for African Americans.
