The Inspiring Stories of
The Pullman Maids

Join us this Friday, June 30 from 1:00–2:00 p.m. as Miriam Thaggert, historian, talks about The Pullman Maids. Everyone knows about the Pullman porters and their connection to African Americans’ struggle for civil rights, but what about the black women who worked for Pullman as maids and female attendants? Miriam discusses the inspiring story of the difficulties—and liberties—of these “handmaidens” for the Pullman Car Company.
