Description
Explore the success of George Pullman's global impact through an understanding of his company and planned Pullman community in south Chicago. Learn how Pullman employees, with an emphasis on the immigration and African-American experience, found both opportunity and limitations working for a company whose name is synonymous with luxurious travel.
Pullman National Monument Park Ranger Sue Bennett and non-profit Historic Pullman Foundation President Mike Shymanski share ways to incorporate the national monument resources in the classroom by examining historic global advertisements and recruitment, differing headlines from the 1894 Pullman Labor Strike, and excerpts from Pullman Porter experiences.
