Organizing The Brother Hood: Randolph urged Negroes to join labor unions, advocated solidarity between white and Negro workers, and concerned himself with the plight of the urban Negro masses. He helped put his ideas into effect by organizing the brother hood the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (AFL) in 1925 and became its president. During the 1930's he was president of the National Negro Congress, a coalition of egro, liberal, and labor groups. He became a vice president of the AFL-CIO in 1957.
Nashville, Dec. 15-16, 1864, fought just south of Nashville, Tenn. Following defeat at Franklin, Hood's weakened Confederate army moved on to Nashville, where the Federal army was based. Gen. George H. Thomas, with an army twice the size of Hood's force, moved out of the city and assailed the Confederates on three fronts. Hood barely managed on the second day to extricate his broken army. Federal losses were 387 killed, 2,562 wounded, and 112 missing. Total Confederate losses are unknown, though Thomas reported the capture of 4,462 men.
During the middle of the 19th century English painting fell into a state of triviality temporarily relieved by the "Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood" of Hunt, Rosetti, and Burne-Jones, who turned to medievalism with Botticelli as their God. They were defended by Ruskin, but world thought was soon to discard eclecticism and to search for new artistic interpretations. With the approach of the 20th century, the English artists looked for inspiration from across the Channel.
