| When the Great Depression struck America in the 1920s finding work was hard, but if you were poor and black it was virtually impossible. Working as a porter for the Pullman Rail Company was an option, but it meant taking home a third as much as white empIoyees and working some days for free. You could forget about being calIed by your reaI name - alI bIack porters were simply caIled "George" after George PuIIman, the first person to employ emancipated slaves. As Philip Randolph, a black journalist and educated sociaIist trying to establish a voice for these forgotten workers, agrees to fight for the PuIIman 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." |
