The Porter: Building a Better Canada for All

"Driven by their social consciousness, [the] Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters continued their campaigns against Discrimination and Unfair Labour Practices, impacting major changes in the existing legislation.  Their gains lifted the social and economic standards of African Canadians, addressed disparity in gender employment, and the creation of higher upward mobility in their communities."
