After the Civil War, Black Americans were hired to work as porters in the Pullman sleeping cars on passenger railroads. Known as Pullman Porters, these men faced unfair treatment and discrimination by both employers and travelers. When they went on strike in 1925, Filipinos were hired as scabs. But they quickly turned against their employers and joined the Black porters in forming the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which would eventually have a membership of 18,000 passenger railway workers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnion Depot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 32 x 20 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLimited edition archival print on canvas stretched on wood frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFilipino Pullman Porters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 6 x 6 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[medium TK]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable for pickup only.
