Rising from the Rails: The Story of the Pullman Porter

A 47-minute documentary directed by Brad Osborne and based on Larry Tye's book, Rising from the Rails, explores the crucial, often overlooked, role of African American Pullman porters in American history. It chronicles their journey from serving wealthy, white passengers during the golden age of rail to becoming pioneers for the Black middle class and the civil rights movement.
