    This was my first time here. I came for a Juneteenth celebration , the museum was next door. I learned some things about Black history I'd never heard before. It was very informative and I learned about A. Phillip Randolph, he was a very powerful man and was responsible for the march on Washington. A. Phillip Randolph was also a trusted ally of Martin Luther King Jr. I could go on further but I'll leave something for you all to see, you must visit

    We really enjoyed the museum and the visitors center. Especially the young man at the front desk of the visitors center. Very personable and helpful. Both places had interesting videos to watch. I gave it 4 stars, but will be back again in 2020 when the Florence hotel and the factory have been rehabbed.

    Great place to learn about important labor struggles and the intersection of the labor movement and the civil rights movement. This is a small but cool museum that is very educational and informative. A great place to check out on the South Side of Chicago!

    This place is AWESOME! The A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porters Museum is located in the historic Pullman community on Chicago's South Side. It highlights the work and history of the first African American and largest labor union in the U.S. It's nestled in the middle on a residential street but brings hundreds of tourists every month to learn about this important piece of American history. A must visit when in Chicago. My family members were in town from the Carolinas and they LOVED IT!

    Great history lesson. There is no elevator if someone needs it or is in a wheelchair.
