Crossing Lines: Rosina Tucker's Story

This podcast will focus on Rosina Tucker, a union organizer and a powerful voice in the Civil Rights Movement. She is best known for her work with the Brotherhood of the Sleeping Car Porters--the first African American trade union. Rosina fought to improve working conditions for Pullman Porters. Her work lives on here at the California State Railroad Museum in our Crossing Lines exhibit, which focuses on the many contributions of women on the railroad. Today Audrey Lokteff meets with one of the creators of the Crossing Lines exhibit, Debbie Hollingsworth to learn more about Rosina Tucker.
