Taste of the Sheridan: Pullman Porters and the Ambassadors of the Railroads – The Sheridan At Oak Brook

At The Sheridan, we believe in the power of lifelong learning. Join us for a fascinating look at the history of the Pullman porters, whose work after the Civil War not only heavily influenced the rise of railway travel across America, but also had an incredible impact on the nation. From forming the first all-Black union to seeding the Great Migration and the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, their profound influence is still felt today.

While you’re here, we’d love to take you on a tour.
