Phillip Randolph and Robert Sengstacke Abbott.  Many people are unaware that these two leaders that did a great deal of work to uplift the Black race traveled to the midwest from the Gullah/Geechee Nation.  The legacy of their work had a major influence on labor relations and the ultimate reason for celebrating Labor Day in the communities of people of African descent in North America.  Tune een fa yeddi we sho-Gullah/Geechee Riddim Radio!
