Miles of Smiles, Years of Struggle

This documentary recounts the struggle of the Pullman sleeping car porters to form the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first Black trade union in the United States. Through archival materials and interviews with retired porters, the film reveals the discrimination behind their famed “miles of smiles” service and the long fight for recognition and dignity.
