点评:The Pullman district is as unique as it gets. Located at 610 East 111th Street on Chicago's far South Side, at Cottage Grove Avenue, in the Roseland community, adjacent to Lake Calumet, it is one of the most famous company towns in the United States. In fact, in 1896, the development was voted the world's most perfect town at the Prague International Hygienic and Pharmaceutical Exposition. Built by George M. Pullman as a planned industrial town for Pullman's Palace Car Company, the neighborhood was intended as a model community, superior to anything available to the working classes anywhere else in the country. It consisted of more than 1,000 homes, the Pullman factory, the Hotel Florence and other public buildings. Pullman's hope was to avoid strikes, attract the most skilled workers, boost productivity and ensure the health and happiness of his employees. In 1883, over 8,000 workers lived in Pullman. The 12-acre community was designated an Illinois Historic District in 1969, a National Historic Landmark District in 1970, a Chicago Landmark District in 1972 and a National Monument in 2015, which officially made it part of the National Park System. Most recently, Pullman National Historical Park became part of the African American Civil Rights Movement in 2019. For a tour of the site, start at the new visitor center, located in the iconic Pullman Administration Clock Tower Building, which features audio and visual exhibits that explore the story and legacy of the local labor and civil rights history. Also within the district is the A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, which explores and recognizes African American labor history. At one time, Pullman was the nation's largest employer of African Americans.

Philip Randolph Pullman Porter 博物馆,该博物馆探索和认可非裔美国人的劳工历史。普尔曼曾是美国最大的非裔美国人雇主。
