Abstract
PULLMAN PORTERS ARE HIGHLY INTERESTING as an occupational group because, even though groups of them meet regularly in cities across America, the occupation that has formed the basis of their identity and of their expressive culture no longer exists. Pullman porters were black men who worked on luxurious railroad sleeping cars. They were personal servants for the passengers on the cars, and they tended to their every need as well as to the preparation and tidiness of the cars themselves. The Pullman Company, and the job of Pullman porter, developed during and immediately after the Civil War and continued into the 1960s.
