Description
Children and adults under the age of 40 have forgotten about the Pullman Porter.
This book will teach children and adults, who the porters were and why they were
so important in our history. Porters worked in early train cars and because they
traveled the country and learned much, many Pullman porters became leaders back
in their home communities. They would read newspapers, listen to conversations,
talk among each other and see the transitions rapidly changing the country in
the decades after the Civil War. He eventually landed at the forefront of the civil
rights movement.
