Brilliant!,
By Greg (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rising From the Rails: The Story of the Pullman Porter (DVD)
Larry Tye and Brad Osborne have successfully added several important pieces to the puzzle of our American history. The story of the pullman porter is told with authenticy, sincerity, and dignity. A must see for anyone who wants to better under the long-lasting, positive impact that these humble "servants" had on American culture.

A History Little Known and Long Forgotten,
By Jim (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rising From the Rails: The Story of the Pullman Porter (DVD)
I can not tell you how moved I was by RISING FROM THE RAILS, the Story of the Pullman Porter. I received the film as a gift from a friend whose son was involved in the production of the film. Growing up in the late 1950's I remember fondly the Age of Steam but was unaware of the significant impact that the Pullman porters had on the rise of the Black middle class and the resultant Civil Rights movement. This is a powerful story and documentary film making at its finest!

A Magnificient Film,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rising From the Rails: The Story of the Pullman Porter (DVD)
I was simply astounded by this film. Having grown up in the 50's and traveled by train with my family on numerous occasions, I was deeply moved by the images and stories of the Pullman Porters. The interviews, flashbacks, dramatic depictions were extremely well done, and I particularly noticed the excellent photography and narratives. My own recollection was that the Pullman Porters were highly regarded, and I had a sense of sincere respect and safety in their presence, even as a young child. It is so interesting to see that the fruits of their hard work and sometimes excessive discipline, are the many successful sons and daughters who can now tell their beautiful and touching stories. The filmmakers of Rising From The Rails deserve an Academy Award. I am ordering a number of DVD's to send to friends and family.
