His parents stressed the importance of receiving a good education, and both Randolph and his brother attended the Cookman Institute, a prominent African-American high school. He moved to New York City in 1911, where he enrolled in night classes to further his education while working. In 1913, he married Lucille Campbell Green, a graduate of Howard University who owned a beauty salon. Her business income supported his social activism. In New York, Randolph encountered socialist thought and soon joined the International Workers of the World. He saw organized labor and the principles of socialism as a way of facilitating the progress of rights for African Americans. Along with his friend and colleague Chandler Owen, Randolph began to publish the Messenger, a magazine which argued against lynching and World War I, and promoted racial integration and unionization. In 1925, Randolph helped to found the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a union for African American men who worked on railcars; both Randolph and the union he headed would become key figures in the civil rights movement of the mid 20th century. As the United States entered World War II, Randolph and other African American labor advocates grew concerned about discrimination in federal defense jobs. Randolph spearheaded the planning effort for a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/329">protest march</a> in Washington. Despite pressure from the White House, the activists refused to back down, and the march was only cancelled when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/328">Executive Order 8802</a> which banned racial discrimination in defense contract work. In the 1950s and 1960, Randolph continued to advocate for labor rights and an end to racial discrimination. Working closely with other activists such as <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/126">Bayard Rustin</a> and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/90">Martin Luther King Jr.</a>, Randolph served among the leaders of major civil rights movements throughout the country.

After practicing as a surveyor and engineer in England for over five years, he moved to the United States, arriving in New York in early 1794. King soon headed south to the then-capital of the United States, Philadelphia, where he found work as a surveyor. His job was briefly suspended when he was involuntarily drafted as a member of the Philadelphia militia during the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1796, Pennsylvania Senator Robert Morris sent King to the area which was to become Washington City to help William Tunnicliff survey Morris' property there. Once there, King was also hired by the Board of Commissioners as a surveyor for the city, although he resigned in 1797 so his father could take the position. The younger King continued to work in Washington, producing a set of wharfing plans for the city and helping landowners petition against changes made to the city plan. He also drew some informal sketches which are among the earliest drawings of Washington DC. In 1802, Nicholas King was offered the job of Surveyor of the City, although his official appointment was not made until 1803. In this capacity he helped survey the prime meridian of the United States and produced a complicated map of Washington City. He also drew a number of maps of the western territories, working off of notes and rough sketches from exploring parties, including the Lewis and Clark expedition. King was still in office when he died in 1812.

As a teenager, he followed the news about the 1950s Montgomery bus boycotts on radio. While student attending American Baptist Theological Seminary and then Fisk University in Nashville, he began participating in civil rights sit-ins. In 1960, he was one of the thirteen original “Freedom Riders” who attempted to travel from Washington, DC, to New Orleans, LA in 1960 as an integrated group. They were constantly threatened with violence and occasionally were attacked. Lewis was one of the founding members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, established in 1960 by college students. Lewis was elected as chairman of the group in 1963. As chairman, he helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer that helped African Americans register to vote despite threats of violence and governmental resistance. In 1965, Lewis and fellow activist Hosea Williams led a group of marchers across a bridge leading out of Selma, Alabama. On the far side, state troopers and newly deputized white men waited and attacked them. Police fractured Lewis’s skull, leaving him with permanent scars. Lewis left SNCC in 1966 to become the community affairs director of the National Consumer Co-op Bank in Atlanta. In 1977, Lewis ran for Congress in Georgia’s 5th district. He lost, but soon after was appointed associate director of ACTION, a federal volunteer agency similar to AmeriCorps. He ran for Congress again in 1981 and this time was elected. Lewis still serves Georgia’s 5th district. Lewis received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 for his lifelong commitment to human rights advocacy.

At age 23, Lewis was the youngest speaker at the March. His strongly-worded speech criticized lawmakers and the President for not doing enough within their powers to stop racial discrimination and the attacks on non-violent protesters across the American south. Other speakers and organizers objected to parts of Lewis’s speech, and he reluctantly cut the most confrontational phrases. Even with these changes, Lewis’s speech was still a rousing call to action.

His estate was the largest of all those which made up the new federal territory. Most of the Mall and all of the land on which the Capitol sits belonged to him. Notley Young was Daniel Carroll's uncle and owned land to the south of Carroll's. At the time of the 1790 census, he was the third largest slaveowner in the state of Maryland, although most of his slaves probably worked at plantations elsewhere in Maryland. Young's land included the very southern part of the Washington Monument Grounds, and the coast of the Potomac River which faced what is now East Potomac Park, but at the time was just marshland. David Burnes owned land originally bought by his grandfather, also named David. Although initially unwilling to sell his land to the government, he changed his mind and signed on in 1791. His land was north of Daniel Carroll's, mostly north of what is now Constitution Avenue. The White House, South Lawn, and Ellipse are all on land that belonged to Burnes. Benjamin Oden owned land that stretched north from Tiber Creek, now Constitution Avenue. His land definitely included the area that is now Union Station, but it may have stretched down to Pennsylvania Avenue close to the Capitol. Samuel Davidson owned a tract of land in an area called Port Royal. The southernmost part of his property is now Lafayette Square. A small parcel of land, roughly where the Museums of American History and Natural History are today, belonged to the Beall family before the Revolutionary War. Because they were loyalists, the state of Maryland confiscated the land. In 1793, after the agreement with the President but before development had really started, James Williams and Uriah Forrest bought that land from the state. Forrest had already agreed to sell what he bought to the federal government.

Moving to California in 1869, he began working as an editorial cartoonist for a newspaper. His drawings attracted the attention of political leader Denis Kearney, who hired Browne as his secretary. Browne accompanied Kearney on a trip to Washington in 1878 to meet with Rutherford B. Hayes in support of legislation preventing Chinese immigration to California. Browne continued as a political agitator after parting ways with Kearney. He also tried his hand at preaching and selling patent medicine. He was known for his eccentric clothing and behavior. Browne met <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/86">Jacob Coxey</a> in Chicago in the early 1890s, and they bonded over a shared interest in monetary reform. Browne encouraged Coxey to lead a march on Washington from Coxey's home town of Massillon, Ohio, to demand publicly funded jobs to combat unemployment. The march ended with both Browne and Coxey in jail. Shortly after being released from jail, Browne eloped with Coxey's daughter; the two men never spoke again. The marriage did not last very long. In the early twentieth century, Browne was again speaking on political causes in California, as well as reporting on radical gatherings, sometimes illustrating the stories with his own cartoons.

He joined the Republican State Committee in 1876 and emerged as a major figure in Michigan politics. He was elected to the US Senate in 1889 and served until his death in 1902. One of McMillan's duties as Senator was to chair the District of Columbia Committee. Thus, he was heavily involved in the administration of Washington, which at this time had no city council or mayor. As the city approached its centennial in 1900, McMillan led a city beautification campaign that resulted in the creation of Senate Park Commission, which was charged with creating a new plan for the public spaces of the city. McMillan died while advocating for the Commission's plan. Ulimately, Congress never formally adopted the plan, but elements of it were implemented in subsequent decades.
