A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a leader in the civil rights movement, was presented last night with the 1964 Histadrut Humanitarian Award at a dinner of the National Committee for Labor Israel attended by some 600 labor and civic leaders. The award, a bronze plaque, was presented by Joseph Schlossberg, president of the National Committee.
