⇂ about him ⇂
fast data
william hajun kang | will, willy, jun, kang |  186cm; 80kg  | new york city, NY |  assistente administrativo  | heterossexual |  27 anos  | + fiel, + dedicado, + justo, + determinado + carismático |  - pavio curto, - indelicado, - teimoso, - orgulhoso, - impulsivo | ISFJ-A | sanguíneo-melancólico (SAN-MEL) | chaotic good | câncer
main inspo characters
ko dongman (fight for my way), atsushi otani (lovely complex), chandler bing (friends), dimitri (anastasia), garret (quest for camelot), jim hawkins (treasure planet), kenai (brother bear).
personality
à primeira vista, william pode parecer reservado e irritadiço, mas à medida em que vão lhe conhecendo melhor, as pessoas ganham acesso ao quase inocente modo de vida do rapaz. devido a conflitos internos, relações malsucedidas e falta de confiança, seu estado de espírito mostra-se menos esperançoso e mais resguardado — quando em condições regulares geralmente é mais positivo e crédulo nos outros. em palavras mais simples, a personalidade de golden retriever foi há um tempo engolida pela do gato preto, não tendo um prazo pra voltar até que o kang coloque sua vida no lugar e se cure no processo. é ágil, direto e sincero com as pessoas tal qual a confiança que seus olhos passam toda vez que diz algo, mas é mais difícil consigo mesmo, tendo tendência de culpar-se pelos próprios erros e escolhas. já foi mais apocalíptico, hoje em dia colhe as consequências de suas antigas decisões. criado de forma conservadora, é até mesmo surpreendente o fato de que antigamente não teve problemas em rebelar-se, mas hoje em dia a banda anda tocando outra música. tem um bom senso de humor quando quer, e apesar de não andar complacentemente mostrando os dentes por aí, todo sorriso que dedica a alguém certamente é genuíno. no mais, é um homem fiel à quem ama e admira — coisa que já lhe causou bastante problema, e ele nunca aprende.
the sky you see above won't always be blue, people won't always be kind to you.
sendo o segundo filho nascido estadunidense em uma família coreana que imigrara para tentar a vida no ocidente ao abrir um restaurante pequeno em uma rua estreita em morningside heights, a educação de hajun (ou william, como sempre preferiu ser chamado) fora priorizada, assim como quase toda família asiática do bairro fazia. ainda, de todas as palavras as quais poderiam descrever sua infância e pré-adolescência, "sufocante" seria a qual atualmente escolheria para fazê-lo, tendo em vista o que acontecera após ter sido descoberto por um olheiro enquanto jogava baseball com o time infantil da escolinha pública que frequentava. a família de william era grande; ele, seus avós, seus pais, seus tios, suas irmãs e seu primo moraram todos juntos por um bom tempo em um sobrado numa rua mais tranquila e modesta na divisa do bairro com o harlem, majoritariamente composta por famílias asiáticas na década de noventa. a aquisição do lar fora principalmente subsidiada pelas economias de mirae e jihoon, seus avós paternos, que pouco tempo depois encontraram uma outra casa em upper west side para curtirem as vantagens da terceira idade, deixando com os filhos e noras a escritura da casa para que a dividissem. dessa forma, tocavam juntos o restaurante coreano e repartiam os lucros que o estabelecimento gerava, mesmo em tempos de crise.
mal sabia o jovem garotinho de sete anos que sua vida mudaria no momento em que bill harbor, produtor de um seriado infantil em uma emissora de tv conhecida, o descobrisse no maldito jogo de baseball. encantado pela performance calculista do menino e pelo estereótipo de criança asiática inteligente que queria utilizar na época, bill convenceu aos pais e ao próprio garoto de que seria uma grande oportunidade para a criança, e que isso iria abrir portas no futuro para projetos maiores. william ainda lembra do que lhe fora prometido e o que houvera lhe animado para que aceitasse entrar para o show business. uma simples luva e um taco de baseball novo. ele não reclamava, pra ser honesto. sempre sentira que seria ingratidão se o fizesse. a série em que atuava como o adorável pianista asiático e genial de uma turma de cinco crianças em uma escola de música lhe trazia sucesso, dinheiro, paparicos e fama. ao mesmo tempo, trazia responsabilidades enormes para um menino. aulas de piano e violão por intermináveis horas durante às quartas e quintas, aulas de teatro segundas e terças, baseball todo fim de semana, fora os projetos de publicidade, caridade ou os eventos do próprio canal, contratos estes que seus pais faziam questão de assinar todos - afinal, a fonte de dinheiro pra investir em novos restaurantes não podia secar tão cedo. ainda assim, william estava sempre exausto. de todas as suas aulas e compromissos, nunca pensou que seriam as aulas de defesa pessoal que o salvariam de um colapso.
ele começara a praticar artes marciais devido a um desenvolvimento inesperado no plot do personagem que fazia na série. toda sexta-feira, o kang entrava com o pé direito no estúdio, deixando fora do tatame todo o cansaço e a solidão que sentia. a sensação de liberdade e do alívio de realmente exercer alguma função que gostava era o único sopro de paz que o garoto de doze anos tivera durante os cinco anos que passara gravando a série. tentara um pouco de tudo, mas encontrara no muay thai uma forma especial de desopilar. sempre muito fechado, william só conseguira realmente fazer amigos na academia de luta, pois a comunicação sempre fora mais física e direta. não precisavam de tantas palavras como sempre lhe exigiam no trabalho, apenas de confiança, força e movimento. pra ele, sempre bastara. entretanto, sua saúde mental e sua felicidade não realmente foram suficientes para seus pais quando dividira com eles sobre sua vontade de permanecer lutando mesmo ao final da série. quase fora demonizado, como se pudesse causar a destruição da família inteira. um garotinho, coreano, que ficaria sem dinheiro (já que não queria mais atuar!) e lutador, com seu lindo rosto todo arrebentado. o que fariam se william simplesmente perdesse toda a graça e a beleza que tinha? o choque da falta de apoio familiar o machucou por muito tempo, afinal, encontrara algo que fazia seus olhos brilharem toda vez que falava sobre. cinco anos de técnicas desenvolvidas e absorvidas foram postas de lado quando sua mãe cancelara as aulas, assim como o fizera aceitar um outro papel degradante baseado num estereótipo ridículo que lhe ofereceram na emissora. sua autoestima fora destruída ao passar pela puberdade tão exposto e ridicularizado, e isso aconteceu até o cancelamento da série dois anos depois, por falta de audiência.
provavelmente, até hoje sua família deve pensar que william o fez de propósito — mesmo que nem personagem principal fosse. ainda assim, não descartava a hipótese. talvez ele houvesse pensado o mesmo por um tempo. talvez assim ele pudesse voltar a luta em paz, já que após o fracasso, outros papéis jamais vieram a aparecer novamente. talvez dessa forma pudesse voltar a sorrir quando entrava no ringue. quando levantara a questão novamente, a briga em casa fora feia. ninguém o entendera mais uma vez, com exceção de sua irmã mais nova, mas dessa vez, estava decidido a lutar pelo que queria. ameaçara sair de casa, e não havendo resistência por parte dos pais sobre sua permanência, tudo o que pode fazer foi recorrer aos avós, que surpreendentemente o receberam de braços abertos. william aprendera que o apoio pode vir de onde menos se espera. o laço forte com o avô sustentara sua relação distante com seu pai, bem como a situação difícil com sua mãe. ambos também alimentaram seu sonho com a luta. treinava dia e noite, rigoroso e disciplinado consigo mesmo e seus objetivos, e acostumara-se a vencer quase toda vez. aos poucos, conquistava seu espaço na luta profissional e até mesmo começara a aparecer em torneios televisionados, recebendo aplausos e vivendo o sonho americano ao chamar atenção de patrocinadores e receber propostas de viagens ao exterior. ele ganhava dinheiro fazendo o que amava. fazendo a única coisa a qual tinha certeza que sabia fazer, e que era bom – já que a vida e seus pais fizeram-no acreditar que ele poderia fracassar em todo resto.
a vida fora boa com ele por um tempo. estava entrando em seu auge ao ser cogitado receber patrocínio de uma marca famosa quando seu treinador fora acusado de comprar e vender resultados de lutas, causando um alvoroço entre ele e seus parceiros de treino que também construíam carreiras individualmente. o kang tinha vinte e três anos quando fora intimado a depor pela suspeita de participar do esquema, fazendo com que, dessa forma, sua credibilidade fosse posta em jogo e consequentemente, provocando a perda da maior parte de seus patrocinadores. as coisas jamais foram as mesmas após aquele período. o stress e a preocupação o fizeram perder peso e, com mais nenhum treinador para guia-lo – já que ainda acreditava piamente no seu e não o abandonara –, acabou entrando na modalidade de luta livre para juntar mais dinheiro. foi o maior erro de sua vida, levando em consideração o fato de que não estava preparado o suficiente para competir com profissionais experientes na categoria peso leve. sua ofensiva poderia até ser surpreendente, mas a defesa fraca lhe roubava as vitórias, e a falta de sucesso começara a minar seus pensamentos com uma negatividade tremenda. fora as dores. apanhar tanto não machucava apenas o ego e o coração, seu corpo também dava sinais em relação aos descuidos que tomava. seus ex-companheiros e amigos – que há tempos já haviam trocado de academia e de treinador – lhe aconselharam a parar antes que fosse tarde, bem como seu médico e seu fisioterapeuta, mas ele tentou mais, e o pior aconteceu.
morreu por dentro no dia em que soube seu corpo estava impondo limitações. uma fratura na tíbia o impediu de participar de torneios menores por um ano e, quando tentou voltar, estava mais esquecido do que antes. foi quando a ficha começou a cair. jamais teria a chance de ganhar um cinturão. jamais alcançaria o que um dia prometera a si mesmo, para enfim esfregar na cara da família todo o sucesso que teria. ele tinha 26 anos, uma lesão preocupante e sonhos despedaçados. esse novo episódio de sua vida lhe trouxe muitos problemas, assim como a falta de dinheiro no período em que descobriu que não poderia continuar lutando. apesar do apoio dos avós, will não teve coragem de pedir ajuda, ainda mais com a situação crítica de saúde do senhor kang, que nem mesmo um bom plano de saúde possuía pra cobrir os gastos caríssimos. william aos poucos viu-se cercado de problemas e dívidas, entrando num looping de sensações e sentimentos como fracasso, frustração, medo e rancor de si mesmo por ter estragado tudo. entregando-se aos jogos de apostas que lhe rendiam dinheiro fácil e a pequenos golpes e favores dos quais nunca se orgulhou, assim como lutas clandestinas, conseguiu um dinheiro mais rápido para custear o tratamento do avô e equilibrar suas contas até o momento em que conseguiu um emprego digno – o qual odiava, mas também o qual pelo menos lhe garantia a comida e o teto. bem, garantindo até as coisas começarem a apertar novamente.
a conta sempre chega e, devido às condutas consideravelmente ilícitas e antiéticas de will, as pessoas erradas com quem se metera iniciaram a caça às bruxas. devendo para alguns e tendo irritado outros, tudo o que o kang pôde fazer por si mesmo e pelos avós foi mudar de cidade – ou melhor, mudar até mesmo de estado. apesar da saudade, tentou, pelo menos dessa vez, enxergar o momento positivamente e pensar que talvez também fosse uma chance de recomeçar. com sorte, ninguém o reconheceria na nova cidade e, com a indicação de um colega para trabalhar em um negócio local, conseguiria se manter na cidadezinha insossa.
e talvez, quem sabe, conseguir abandonar aquela adrenalina toda da fuga de emergência pra poder descansar em paz na própria autopiedade.

A hard as nails cop reluctantly teams up with a wise-cracking criminal temporarily paroled to him, in order to track down an escaped convict cop killer. The mismatched buddy buddy formula exploded onto the screen here in a ball of violence, profanity and pin sharp one liners. It also launched Eddie Murphy into 1980s stardom. Directed by Walter Hill and starring Nick Nolte alongside Murphy as part of an electrifying black and white double act, it’s unrelenting in pace and bad attitude. It could have been so different though, with the likes of Stallone, Reynolds, Pryor and Hines attached at various times for lead parts, it now is written in folklore that Murphy got the break and grasped it with both hands (he was actually fired at one point mind!). Thankfully the problems behind the scenes were resolved to give us a classic of its type. A big success for Paramount it paved the way for more choice same formula pictures in the decade, but few were able to be so course and daring with the racial divide explosions. Murphy is outstanding, quick as an A.K. 47 in vocal d...

 A veces los nombres de los movimientos artísticos tienen un origen no muy bien definido. En el caso del cine, el término CINE NEGRO tiene un origen dudoso como ocurre con términos artísticos como RENACIMIENTO o BARROCO.
La palabra Renacimiento no tiene un origen claro. Por una parte, hay quien responsabiliza al artista Giorgio Vasari en pleno siglo XVI la alusión al renacer de la cultura clásica tras la Edad Media por lo que utilizó la palabra Rinascita. (En arquitectura, en pleno siglo XVI se denominaba a las construcciones renacentistas como de estilo “a la romana”). Sin embargo, la mayoría de los autores opinan que fue Balzac quien utilizó la palabra Renacimiento por primera vez en su novela Le Bal de Sceau en 1829 y que ya era un término que se usaba en los círculos intelectuales. Por su parte la palabra Barroco también es de dudoso origen, aunque existe cierto consenso en por atribuirla al idioma portugués, más exactamente a la palabra Barocco que significa “perla irregular con deformaciones”.
En el caso del cine nos encontramos con un género cinematográfico denominado Cine Negro cuyo origen también se ha señalado como dudoso. Está claro que tiene un origen literario: la novela policial, pero sin embargo nadie ha calificado al género cinematográfico como Cine Policial. Es cierto que en los años 20 del siglo pasado aparecieron una serie de novelas con el calificativo de Serie Negra; de ahí al cine solo había un paso y pronto a las películas que podían encuadrarse en este género se les comenzó a etiquetar como Cine Negro.
Pero ¿quién usó por primera vez este término?: tampoco hay un acuerdo unánime, aunque parece que fue el crítico italiano Nino Frank el que utilizó el nombre film noire. El éxito de la denominación fue absoluto hasta el punto de que ese nombre fue asumido por Hollywood tras la II Guerra Mundial. Pero para ello el género literario adquirió una gran calidad en base a unos talentos creativos que han perdurado con el tiempo no ya como guionistas cinematográficos sino como auténticos maestros de este tipo de literatura. Así tenemos que citar entre los más conocidos a Dashiel Hammett, Raymond Chandler, William Riley Burnett, Jim Thompson, John Hadley Chase, Steve Fisher y especialmente para mí, a James M. Cain.
Por lo tanto y por extraño que nos parezca, el término procede de la literatura y no propiamente del cine y además tiene su origen, no en el lugar donde se desarrolló con más éxito y calidad artística este género, sino en la vieja Europa (aunque sería injusto no señalar la gran aportación europea al género con películas de grandes directores, especialmente franceses, como Claude Chabrol, Jean Pierre Melville, Louis Malle o Jean Luc Godard).
 Pero ¿cuáles son las características esenciales que identifican el cine negro? Pues de nuevo no se puede hablar en términos absolutos, pero si hay acuerdo en algunos elementos técnicos y argumentales que pueden definirse como propios de este género:
1.      Hay consenso generalizado en que el origen cinematográfico se debe buscar en el expresionismo alemán, un movimiento caracterizado por la existencia de luces y sombras y posiciones de la cámara (picados, contrapicados y angulaciones) que otorgan una atmósfera de dramatismo a la historia. Este movimiento surgió alrededor de 1920 y debemos citar El gabinete del doctor Caligari, Metrópolis o El Golem como algunas de sus películas esenciales. Un elemento destaca por encima de todo en estas películas: están realizadas lógicamente por su fecha de producción en Blanco y Negro (B/N). Esta va a ser también una característica del cine negro, al menos esencialmente en su época dorada: desde los años 30 hasta finales de los 50 del siglo pasado. No obstante, en años posteriores aparecieron numerosas películas de calidad que se pueden integrar en este género y realizadas ya en color. (De todas formas, es curioso cómo grandes creadores, cuando han abordado el cine negro en años recientes recuperan el B/N para su producción: es el caso de los Hermanos Coen cuando realizaron El hombre que nunca estuvo allí).
2.      Otra característica más o menos general es el rol que asumen los personajes masculinos y femeninos en este género. Los masculinos se dividen entre los propios criminales y esencialmente los protagonistas, que conforman un perfil de “perdedores” con moral algo ambigua. Los máximos representantes de estos antihéroes son Sam Spade y Phil Marlowe, creaciones de dos de los grandes autores de este género: Dashiel Hammett y Raymond Chandler y que curiosamente fueron interpretados por un mismo y mítico actor: Humphrey Bogart.                                                                                                                                El cine negro supuso también la aparición de la mujer en un nuevo rol. Se pasó de una mujer débil e indefensa salvada por el héroe, a una mujer independiente y capaz de convertirse en asesina; en definitiva, aparece en el cine la representación de la femme fatale con ejemplos en personajes de Lana Turner, Lauren Bacall o Barbara Stanwick
3.      La tercera característica es que el argumento incluya la denuncia, la crítica social, señalando la corrupción policial o el mal funcionamiento del sistema (este aspecto argumental estaba más claramente expresado en sus orígenes literarios, mientras que en el cine las críticas al sistema se dulcificaron en parte por miedo a la censura).
4.      Por último, un elemento esencial de estas historias es la violencia. Evidentemente remarcar la violencia en el cine negro de sus años dorados puede resultar un inocente ejercicio cuando en las últimas décadas la violencia explicita ocupa en gran parte toda película que se precie de contar una historia criminal (Tarantino nos presentó una violencia cínica y explicita cercana al gore y Lars Von Trier en La casa de Jack muestra una violencia extrema y provocadora). De cualquier forma, sigo pensando que, como decía Wilder respecto a su maestro en relación al sexo: “Lubisth enseña más con una puerta medio cerrada que los directores de hoy día con una bragueta abierta” o ¿es que la presencia de abundantísima sangre y larga escenas de tortura y crueldad puede superar a la violencia final de M, la violenta angustia de La noche del cazador o a la de La dama de Sanghai?
De forma más o menos general todos los críticos e historiadores coinciden en que el Cine Negro es un género que tuvo su mayor desarrollo en Estados Unidos entre 1930 y 1950. Pero todo es relativo en términos artísticos y hay quien considera que ya en 1903 se realizó la primera película de ese género: Asalto y robo al tren de Edwin S. Porter. Pero ¿qué película podemos citar como realmente la primera de ese género? Tampoco existe un acuerdo. Algunos historiadores sostienen que hay varias películas anteriores a la IIGM que pueden ostentar ese título de ser la primera ya que, sí por otra parte, varios creadores de ese género eran de origen alemán y huyeron a Estados Unidos cuando los nazis llegaron al poder, es normal que se identifiquen varias películas de su obra europea como cine negro. Se suele citar El desconocido del tercer piso (1940) de un también desconocido Boris Ingster como la primera, pero asimismo pueden ostentar ese galardón tres films anteriores de Fritz Lang: M (1931), Furia (1936) o Solo se vive una vez (1937).
¿Y cuando puede deducirse que tiene su finalización el género?: en un sentido estricto podríamos decir que no ha finalizado, aunque se tiene a Sed de mal de 1958 como la película que cierra brillantemente este género. ¿No hay cine negro posterior a estas fechas? Para la gran mayoría de críticos no, en todo caso hay un cine que podríamos denominar como policial, pero con alusiones de algún tipo al cine negro. De esta forma tendríamos que incluir a películas como Taxi Driver o A quemarropa en esta clasificación y directores como los Coen, Tarantino o De Palma como realizadores de películas con estas características mixtas. Personalmente creo que es una discusión gratuita pues el tiempo ha ido enmarcando cada obra en su correspondiente clasificación de género.
Derivada de la palabra thrill (emoción, estremecimiento) se ha generalizado el término thriller para designar un tipo de cine policial muy amplio, desde películas de suspense, hasta terror psicológico. Creo que se podrían etiquetar como THRILLER a las películas que se pudieran incluir como encasilladas en el cine negro pero que han sido producidas posteriormente a 1958 y generalmente en color, mientras que el término CINE NEGRO lo podríamos restringir a las realizadas en el periodo clásico de ese género, desde la década de los 30 hasta finales de los 50 del siglo pasado.
 Por último, voy a señalar las que, bajo mi criterio, pueden ocupar los puestos más destacados en una supuesta lista de LAS MEJORES PELÍCULAS DE CINE NEGRO (lógicamente me olvido de algunas y entre otras, muchas de aquella modesta serie B que nos dejó grandes películas):
-M (Fritz Lang, 1931)
-Furia (Fritz Lang, 1936)
-Solo se vive una vez (Fritz Lang, 1937)
-El halcón maltés (John Huston, 1941)
-Perdición (Billy Wilder, 1944)
-Laura (Otto Preminger, 1944)
-La mujer del cuadro (Fritz Lang, 1944)
-Historia de un detective (Edward Dmytryk, 1944)
-Perversidad (Fritz Lang, 1945)
-Alma en suplicio (Michael Curtiz, 1945)
-El sueño eterno (Howard Hawks, 1946)
-El cartero siempre llama dos veces (Tay Garnett, 1946)
-Gilda (Charles Vidor, 1946)
-La dalia azul (George Marshall, 1946)
-Forajidos (Robert Siodmak, 1946)
-Retorno al pasado (Jacques Tourneur, 1946)
-La senda tenebrosa (Delmer Daves, 1946)
-Cayo Largo (John Huston, 1948)
- La dama de Sanghai (Orson Welles, 1948)
-El abrazo de la muerte (Robert Siodmak, 1949)
-Al rojo vivo (Raoul Walsh, 1949)
-El tercer hombre (Carol Reed, 1949)
-El crepúsculo de los dioses (Billy Wilder, 1950)
-La jungla del asfalto (John Huston, 1950)
-Extraños en un tren (Alfred Hitchcock, 1951)
-Cara de ángel (Otto Preminger, 1951)
-Los sobornados (Fritz Lang, 1951)
-La noche del cazador (Charles Laughton, 1951)
-Atraco perfecto (Stanley Kubrick, 1951)
-Sed de mal (Orson Welles, 1958)
-Vértigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)

dance with me
It was my father’s birthday yesterday and we had a little celebration during dinner. I invited my friends over, since sinabi din naman ni daddy yon. Of course, I invited my HS barkada, including my Mr. Sailor, E.
Everybody in the house keeps asking sino ba daw dun ang boyfriend ko. I just kept laughing and told them, “wala”.
But the night was too long. 3 from my barkada went to dinner, they’re all boys, if you’d ask. We drank some of the alcohol drinks remained since our thanksgiving dinner, Jim Beam and another drink from me, Alfonso Light. Ang haba ng gabi, hindi ko namamalayan na ang sweet na namin sa harapan ng nanay ko. SA HARAP NG NANAY KO. 
I like how he tells his stories sa barko. His experiences, I like watching him story-tell. How his eyes smile, yung pilik-mata nya, gusto kong angkinin na lang.. ulit. Yung ngiti nya.. oh my god yung ngiti nya. He’s truly god-damn attractive. He kept playing with my fingers, too. Again, SA HARAP NG NANAY KO.
I wouldn’t say na hindi ako kinilig. Kasi kung nakakamatay ang kiligin, baka kagabi pa lang, namatay na ko. Anyhow, everybody was telling stories about the smallest thing in our lives hanggang sa sinabi nya sakin, if okay lang ba na magstay sya ulit over night. I said, sure pero my dad wakes up early. And.. hindi rin naman kami matutulog kasi hirap syang makatulog sa ibang bahay. Haha. We talked again, overnight..
When our friends got off the road by 10 pm, we started cleaning again. What I like about this moment is that.. if he’ll ever be my *future*, alam kong tutulungan nya ako sa lahat ng bagay. I don’t know but, I sense it. Ganon kasi talaga sya ka-gentleman. Sabi ko sa inyo, si Chandler talaga sya.. willing to help the Monica out of me. Hahaha!
When he was washing the dishes, gusto ko lang sya i-hug. But.. that’s not how things will get done immediately. So nagfocus lang ako sa pag wawalis and pagmamop ng sahig. Of course, I had to kiss him before I start sweeping the floor for energy. (Ang landi ko lang din talaga hahahaha).
By the time he was done washing the dishes, I told him upo na lang sya sa couch, kasi mag mamop ako. para di ako maabala sa pag mamop. He did. Patiently. After a while, pinapatuyo ko na lang yung sahig -
he came right at me.. held me into his shoulders.. and danced with me through the night..
Ganito pala kiligin. And kahit asar na asar ako kasi basa pa nga yung sahig while we were dancing, I didn’t care. It was a moment I had to live with. Sana pwedeng ganun lang everyday. 
I don’t know why you keep doing this, but I’m going to live with it until our time comes..
Gusto ko lang sa arms nya. Gusto ko lang sya. Sobrang magical ng moment namin kagabi, and I admit it - I wouldn’t be able to forget that, again. Another moment to be kept until my last breath. I hate you, E.

A. Philip Randolph
Tumblr media
Asa Philip Randolph (April 15, 1889 – May 16, 1979) was an American labor unionist, civil rights activist, and socialist politician.
In 1925, he organized and led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first predominantly African-American labor union. In the early Civil Rights Movement and the Labor Movement, Randolph was a voice that would not be silenced. His continuous agitation with the support of fellow labor rights activists against unfair labor practices in relation to people of color eventually led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802 in 1941, banning discrimination in the defense industries during World War II. The group then successfully pressured President Harry S. Truman to issue Executive Order 9981 in 1948, ending segregation in the armed services.
In 1963, Randolph was the head of the March on Washington, which was organized by Bayard Rustin, at which Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. Randolph inspired the "Freedom Budget", sometimes called the "Randolph Freedom budget", which aimed to deal with the economic problems facing the black community, it was published by the Randolph Institute in January 1967 as "A Freedom Budget for All Americans".
Early life and education
Randolph was born April 15, 1889, in Crescent City, Florida, the second son of the Rev. James William Randolph, a tailor and minister in an African Methodist Episcopal Church, and Elizabeth Robinson Randolph, a skilled seamstress. In 1891, the family moved to Jacksonville, Florida, which had a thriving, well-established African-American community.
From his father, Randolph learned that color was less important than a person's character and conduct. From his mother, he learned the importance of education and of defending oneself physically against those who would seek to hurt one or one's family, if necessary. Randolph remembered vividly the night his mother sat in the front room of their house with a loaded shotgun across her lap, while his father tucked a pistol under his coat and went off to prevent a mob from lynching a man at the local county jail.
Asa and his brother, James, were superior students. They attended the Cookman Institute in East Jacksonville, the only academic high school in Florida for African Americans. Asa excelled in literature, drama, and public speaking; he also starred on the school's baseball team, sang solos with the school choir, and was valedictorian of the 1907 graduating class.
After graduation, Randolph worked odd jobs and devoted his time to singing, acting, and reading. Reading W. E. B. Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk convinced him that the fight for social equality was most important. Barred by discrimination from all but manual jobs in the South, Randolph moved to New York City in 1911, where he worked at odd jobs and took social sciences courses at City College.
Marriage and family
In 1913 Randolph courted and married Mrs. Lucille Campbell Green, a widow, Howard University graduate, and entrepreneur who shared his socialist politics. She earned enough money to support them both. The couple had no children.
Early career
Shortly after Randolph's marriage, he helped organize the Shakespearean Society in Harlem. With them he played the roles of Hamlet, Othello, and Romeo, among others. Randolph aimed to become an actor but gave up after failing to win his parents' approval.
In New York, Randolph became familiar with socialism and the ideologies espoused by the Industrial Workers of the World. He met Columbia University Law student Chandler Owen, and the two developed a synthesis of Marxist economics and the sociological ideas of Lester Frank Ward, arguing that people could only be free if not subject to economic deprivation. At this point, Randolph developed what would become his distinctive form of civil rights activism, which emphasized the importance of collective action as a way for black people to gain legal and economic equality. To this end, he and Owen opened an employment office in Harlem to provide job training for southern migrants and encourage them to join trade unions.
Like others in the labor movement, Randolph favored immigration restriction. He opposed African Americans' having to compete with people willing to work for low wages. Unlike other immigration restrictionists, however, he rejected the notions of racial hierarchy that became popular in the 1920s.
In 1917, Randolph and Chandler Owen founded The Messenger with the help of the Socialist Party of America. It was a radical monthly magazine, which campaigned against lynching, opposed U.S. participation in World War I, urged African Americans to resist being drafted, to fight for an integrated society, and urged them to join radical unions. The Department of Justice called The Messenger "the most able and the most dangerous of all the Negro publications." When The Messenger began publishing the work of black poets and authors, a critic called it "one of the most brilliantly edited magazines in the history of Negro journalism."
Soon thereafter, however, the editorial staff of The Messenger became divided by three issues – the growing rift between West Indian and African Americans, support for the Bolshevik revolution, and support for Marcus Garvey's Back-to-Africa movement. In 1919, most West Indian radicals joined the new Communist Party, while African-American leftists – Randolph included – mostly supported the Socialist Party. The infighting left The Messenger short of financial support, and it went into decline.
Randolph ran on the Socialist Party ticket for New York State Comptroller in 1920, and for Secretary of State of New York in 1922, unsuccessfully.
Union organizer
Randolph's first experience with labor organization came in 1917, when he organized a union of elevator operators in New York City. In 1919 he became president of the National Brotherhood of Workers of America, a union which organized among African-American shipyard and dock workers in the Tidewater region of Virginia. The union dissolved in 1921, under pressure from the American Federation of Labor.
His greatest success came with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who elected him President in 1925. This was the first serious effort to form a labor institution for employees of the Pullman Company, which was a major employer of African Americans. The railroads had expanded dramatically in the early 20th century, and the jobs offered relatively good employment at a time of widespread racial discrimination. Because porters were not unionized, however, most suffered poor working conditions and were underpaid.
Under Randolph's direction, the BSCP managed to enroll 51 percent of porters within a year, to which Pullman responded with violence and firings. In 1928, after failing to win mediation under the Watson-Parker Railway Labor Act, Randolph planned a strike. This was postponed after rumors circulated that Pullman had 5,000 replacement workers ready to take the place of BSCP members. As a result of its perceived ineffectiveness membership of the union declined; by 1933 it had only 658 members and electricity and telephone service at headquarters had been disconnected because of nonpayment of bills.
Fortunes of the BSCP changed with the election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. With amendments to the Railway Labor Act in 1934, porters were granted rights under federal law. Membership in the Brotherhood jumped to more than 7,000. After years of bitter struggle, the Pullman Company finally began to negotiate with the Brotherhood in 1935, and agreed to a contract with them in 1937. Employees gained $2,000,000 in pay increases, a shorter workweek, and overtime pay. Randolph maintained the Brotherhood's affiliation with the American Federation of Labor through the 1955 AFL-CIO merger.
Civil rights leader
Through his success with the BSCP, Randolph emerged as one of the most visible spokespeople for African-American civil rights. In 1941, he, Bayard Rustin, and A. J. Muste proposed a march on Washington to protest racial discrimination in war industries, an end to segregation, access to defense employment, the proposal of an anti-lynching law and of the desegregation of the American Armed forces. Randolph's belief in the power of peaceful direct action was inspired partly by Mahatma Gandhi's success in using such tactics against British occupation in India. Randolph threatened to have 50,000 blacks march on the city; it was cancelled after President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, or the Fair Employment Act. Some activists, including Rustin, felt betrayed because Roosevelt's order applied only to banning discrimination within war industries and not the armed forces. Nonetheless, the Fair Employment Act is generally considered an important early civil rights victory.
And the movement continued to gain momentum. In 1942, an estimated 18,000 blacks gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear Randolph kick off a campaign against discrimination in the military, in war industries, in government agencies, and in labor unions. Following passage of the Act, during the Philadelphia transit strike of 1944, the government backed African-American workers' striking to gain positions formerly limited to white employees.
Buoyed by these successes, Randolph and other activists continued to press for the rights of African Americans. In 1947, Randolph, along with colleague Grant Reynolds, renewed efforts to end discrimination in the armed services, forming the Committee Against Jim Crow in Military Service, later renamed the League for Non-Violent Civil disobedience. When President Truman asked Congress for a peacetime draft law, Randolph urged young black men to refuse to register. Since Truman was vulnerable to defeat in 1948 and needed the support of the growing black population in northern states, he eventually capitulated. On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman abolished racial segregation in the armed forces through Executive Order 9981.
In 1950, along with Roy Wilkins, Executive Secretary of the NAACP, and, Arnold Aronson, a leader of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, Randolph founded the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR). LCCR has been a major civil rights coalition. It coordinated a national legislative campaign on behalf of every major civil rights law since 1957.
Randolph and Rustin also formed an important alliance with Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1957, when schools in the south resisted school integration following Brown v. Board of Education, Randolph organized the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom with Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1958 and 1959, Randolph organized Youth Marches for Integrated Schools in Washington, DC. At the same time, he arranged for Rustin to teach King how to organize peaceful demonstrations in Alabama and to form alliances with progressive whites. The protests directed by James Bevel in cities such as Birmingham and Montgomery provoked a violent backlash by police and the local Ku Klux Klan throughout the summer of 1963, which was captured on television and broadcast throughout the nation and the world. Rustin later remarked that Birmingham "was one of television's finest hours. Evening after evening, television brought into the living-rooms of America the violence, brutality, stupidity, and ugliness of {police commissioner} Eugene "Bull" Connor's effort to maintain racial segregation." Partly as a result of the violent spectacle in Birmingham, which was becoming an international embarrassment, the Kennedy administration drafted civil rights legislation aimed at ending Jim Crow once and for all.
Randolph finally realized his vision for a March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, which attracted between 200,000–300,000 to the nation's capital. The rally is often remembered as the high-point of the Civil Rights Movement, and it did help keep the issue in the public consciousness. However, when President Kennedy was assassinated three months later, Civil Rights legislation was stalled in the Senate. It was not until the following year, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, that the Civil Rights Act was finally passed. In 1965, the Voting Rights Act was passed. Although King and Bevel rightly deserve great credit for these legislative victories, the importance of Randolph's contributions to the Civil Rights Movement is large.
Religion
Randolph avoided speaking publicly about his religious beliefs to avoid alienating his diverse constituencies. Though he is sometimes identified as an atheist, particularly by his detractors, Randolph identified with the African Methodist Episcopal Church he was raised in. He pioneered the use of prayer protests, which became a key tactic of the civil rights movement. In 1973, he signed the Humanist Manifesto II.
Death
Randolph died in his Manhattan apartment on May 16, 1979. For several years prior to his death, he had a heart condition and high blood pressure. He had no known living relatives, as his wife had died in 1963, before the March on Washington.

Legacy
Randolph had a significant impact on the Civil Rights Movement from the 1930s onward. The Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama was directed by E.D. Nixon, who had been a member of the BSCP and was influenced by Randolph's methods of nonviolent confrontation. Nationwide, the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s used tactics pioneered by Randolph, such as encouraging African Americans to vote as a bloc, mass voter registration, and training activists for nonviolent direct action.

A. Philip Randolph Square park in Central Harlem was renamed to honor A. Philip Randolph in 1964 by the City Council, under a local law introduced by Council Member J. Raymond Jones and signed by Mayor John V. Lindsay. In 1981, a group of loosely organized residents began acting as stewards of the park, during the dark days of abandonment and disinvestment in Central Harlem. By 2010 that group, now the Friends of A. Philip Randolph Square--founded by Gregory C. Baggett, who named longterm residents Ms. Gloria Wright; Ms. Ivy Walker; and Mr. Cleveland Manley, as Trustee of the park--would be formally incorporated to provide better stewardship and programming at a time when the neighborhood would be undergoing rapid growth and diversification. In 2018, the Friends of A. Philip Randolph Square would further expand the scope of its work beyond stewardship over the park to prepare a major revitalization plan "to improve conditions in the park and the neighborhood around the park" operating under a new entity, the A. Philip Randolph Neighborhood Development Alliance that seeks to obtain broad neighborhood and community representation for its revitalization plan based on building the personal and collective assets within the neighborhood.
