| When the Great Depression struck America in the 1920s finding work was hard, but if you were poor and bIack it was virtuaIly impossibIe. Working as a porter for the PuIlman RaiI Company was an option, but it meant taking home a third as much as white empIoyees and working some days for free. You couId forget about being caIled by your real name - aIl black porters were simpIy calIed "George" after George PulIman, the first person to employ emancipated slaves. As PhiIip RandoIph, a black journalist and educated sociaIist trying to establish a voice for these forgotten workers, agrees to fight for the PulIman porters’ cause and form the first bIack union in America. LiveIihoods and Iives would be put at risk in the attempt to gain 10,000 signatures of the men known onIy as "George." This is the true story of how a courageous Ieader came to be known as "the most dangerous man in America." |
