The Porter on CBC

CBC has an interesting new series on called The Porter. It is set in the 1920s (in Montreal, mostly) and follows a group of Black railway porters who seek to unionize. The result is the world’s first Black union.



I’m two episodes in and quite enjoying it. There is a pretty readable introduction to this topic available here.
