I learned a lot. I had known that the Pullman Porter was held in very high esteem in the black community, but this explained why. I didn't realize that they were named after the creator of the first sleeping cars on trains or how involved they were in the Civil Rights Movement. I think this will be a wonderful addition to the library's juvenile collection. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Pullman Porters were very important figures in the history of America. This book teaches children and adults who porters were and why they were so important in our history. Porters worked in early train cars, for 70 railroad companies nationwide. They would look, listen and learn from their predominantly white passengers. They read the newspapers passengers left behind, listened to conversations and talked with one another. The porter knew how important education was for children and how important it was to take this message home to his family. He eventually landed at the forefront of the civil rights movement.

The text, though... It's informative, and maybe it's just due to there not being too much else to add, but it feels sparse, lacking in detail.
That said, the artwork alone still makes this worth the look. ( )
