Rising from the Rails: Pullman Porters and the Making of the Black Middle Class by Larry Tye

3.0

Tye makes the case for the centrality of black Pullman (sleeping car) porters to the development of the black middle class, labour history, and the civil rights movement. Lots I didn't know! I found the writing a little dull but it seemed well-researched and theirs is an important and interesting story. 3.5 stars.
