Railroad titan George Pullman built luxury sleeping cars—and a company town to match. But when prosperity failed to reach the workers who powered his empire, a strike erupted that shook the nation. This documentary reveals how the Pullman rebellion ignited one of America’s most significant labor battles, and how Black porters and maids organized to pave the way for a Black middle class and the civil rights movement.
