Hello, this text talks about " The Legacy of the Pullman Porters". So, back in the 20's this Pullman company was one of largest to employ African American men to work at this job. These men had a good job actually even if they're considered as "slaves". What made them like the job ? Well...they were paid better than any other African American from working 400hours a months ! That is like 100hours a week, and from that they created a black middle-class so the black had a better point of view from the white people. Let's get started with something else instead about the job, the Porters was really helping the black migrates to get information about housing and everything. He was envolved in The Civil Rights, Pullman helped plan the Montgomery. Then they're was a lot of politics. This text resume the hard work of the Porters and what they try to do to help the world.
Le transport --> In 1800, the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nation’s natural waterways. As a result, settlement clung to the nation’s coasts and rivers. A few roads connected major cities, but travel on them was difficult and time consuming.
One hundred years later, railroads sped along thousands of miles of track. Large ships moved passengers and freight across the oceans and smaller boats plied the nation’s rivers, lakes and canals. Bicycles, carriages and wagons rolled over thousands of miles of roads. Seventy-five million people lived coast to coast, many in towns and cities that had sprouted up along the new routes, then from 1893 one of the first gasoline car was made and from then tons of cars are made today.
