They played a crucial role in providing customer service, ensuring comfort, and maintaining the cleanliness of train cars, all while facing racial discrimination and low wages. Despite their challenges, Pullman porters became one of the first organized labor groups among African Americans, contributing to the growth of the civil rights movement by advocating for better working conditions and pay. Their experiences highlighted both the contributions and struggles of Black workers in America during that era.
