For the first time in US history, a black labour union played a central role in shaping labor and civil rights policy.

Dellums, starting from the BSCPs origins as the first national union of black workers in 1925.

Dellums was a leading civil rights activist as well as a labor leader. In 1948, he was chosen to be the first West Coast Regional Director of the NAACP.
