In honor of my great Uncle Cory, i wanted to delve a little deeper into the history of

labor unions in chicago after finding out some inequities my uncle had been served

after working decades on the railroads. through my research I learned about

Chicago’s pullman porters . One hundred years ago, Chicago's Pullman porters who

worked on the historic railway here helped form the first all-Black labor union in

the U.S. The union was led by formerly enslaved black men like Phillip Randolph and

Milton P. Webster. due to these men’s sacrifice should be celebrated and learned

about. I want to learn more about it’s affects later on and why it was pushed

almost out of existence.
