Hello,
I am a longtime reporter at the Boston Globe, off now writing books. My
current project, for Henry Holt Publishers, is a book on the Pullman porters
and the role they played in everything from black trade unions to the Civil
Rights Movement.
I am bothering you now because I am traveling the country, talking to
porters who still are alive and scouring library collections for any
material on the Pullman sleeper cars and the men who worked on them.
Do you happen to know of any porters living anywhere in the country, or
have any suggestions of individuals or groups who might help me look?
Any notion of any library collections that might have material relating to
the porters?
Thanks very much, and sorry to bother you with this.
