    You will get insights into the Pullman Company except when it involved the pullman porters. A pure whitewash of the difficulty of the job and the indignities they had to go through. Yes, they were admired in the Black community, and maintained something akin to middle class even some putting their kids through school; Kalmbach media missed the opportunity to provide a balance.
