About Us
It is the story of a young man who worked as a “Pullman porter” on the trains of Chicago, Illinois, and who later became one of the founding fathers of black middle class society.
Because they were porters who worked for the Pullman Company, they were given the name “Pullman porters”. These well dressed men in uniform provided first-class service to well-to-do white passengers during the late 1800’s to the 1960’s, when trains were the main form of travel with ultimate comfort.
