In recognition of the national 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” this exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a labor union that represented Black porters and maids who staffed Pullman Company railroad sleeping cars. It was the first Black union in the United States to be recognized by the American Federation of Labor.
