"I'll be back to fight some more another day."
C. L. Dellums, porter
A victory for Brotherhood porters was also a victory for black families. Workplace gains on the railroad allowed many families to buy houses, invest in their communities and send their children to college. Their united struggle generated political momentum for African Americans to gain voting rights, economic justice and social freedom.
Erected 2017.
