The light of hope clears through the smoke and takes a locomotive form as the Collins brothers stand tall in recognition of Hogan’s Alley’s rich history of sleeping car porters. By 1917, most black men in Strathcona are employed by railroad companies as sleeping car porters, one of the few jobs available due to racial discrimination. Canadian railroad companies recruited black men from the American south and the West Indies, largely to undermine their unionized white employees, and then segregated railroad work as a concession to the white-only union. In 1927 the Pullman Porter Club is established in Hogan’s Alley, a three-story brick building serving as a meeting place for black railway porters. In 1942, Frank Collins, the eldest of the four Collins brothers, becomes President of the newly instated Canadian branch of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, fighting discrimination in jobs and housing. By 1945, The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters signs a contract with CP Rail, marking the first time a union organized by black men signs an agreement with a Canadian company. 6th section of ‘Hope Through Ashes: A Requiem for Hogan’s Alley’, a @vanmuralfest mural recognizing @hogans.alley Special thanks to artists @oxana_gaida @mrscripsit @amira_at_large @kinseydeakin @reduxdelux Swipe for details >>> #painting #mural #porter #sleepingcarporters #blackporter #cnrail #railroad #railroadhistory #railroadindustry #trains #sleepingcars #canadianrailroad #collinsbrothers #dontcallmegeorge #brotherhoodofsleepingcarporters #blacklivesmatter #hogansalley #canadianhistory #blackhistory #vancouvermuralfestival #adoworks #mural #artist #blackartist #blackart #canadianartist #vancouverartist (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVtRcQhAOs/?igshid=nyz2lp7lolu2

don’t unnecessarily shit post trying to drag someone and expect their loved ones to ignore it when he didn’t do anything wrong, makes you look like shit and the premise of even being shady in the first place when you don’t know him or anything about him just reminds us all you were in high school last year literally the age shit wouldn’t be a thing if you conducted yourself like an adult and not like the literal child that you are and before i get dragged for shitting on shady posts while making a shady post i’m just going to tag the people this is directed at to avoid any confusion @cuatthebitterend and @dontcallmegeorge please leave us all the fuck alone
