10,000 Black Men Named George (2002)

Similar to The Killing Floor , this made for television film chronicles a bit of American labor history. Here, it’s an effort led by organizer A. Philip Randolph (played by Andre Braugher) to unionize the all Black Pullman porters who were traditionally called George (after George Pullman) by the white patrons. It’s fairly straightforward, but like that other film, it gives a glimpse into history that is often taught or talked about. It’s noteworthy that Randolph had a long history of fighting for equal rights from his days as a union organizer to later fights for civil rights, including mentoring Martin Luther King Jr.
