An Anthology Of Respect is a reminder of a living legacy and a clarion call to continue what A. Philip Randolph and the Brotherhood Of Pullman Porters defined as "the unfinished task of emancipation." Pullman Porters, known as the "Ambassadors of Service," transformed early train travel into the Golden Age of Rail, while the Brotherhood became the foundation for Americas' first black labor union. Lyn Hughes, the founder-director of Chicago's A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, knows this story as well as anyone, and she reminds us with this publication of the labor milestone that helped create the new world of Black and White America.
