More About Us

The A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter museum was founded in 1995 by Lyn Hughes.  Our mission is to honor promote and celebrate the legacy of A. Philip Randolph and contributions made by African Americans in America’s labor history.  As an African American museum our exhibits and educational programs encourage a greater  of these  significant  achievement and monumental contributions to Americas history .

A.P.R.P.P. Museum is an African American Labor history Museum with a focus on the African American Railroad attendant.  It is the first of its kind in the nation. We are independently operated, that being the case we consistently seek innovative initiatives and collaborative opportunities, and to generate general operating funds for the museum. We have recently embarked upon a unique way to expand the museum, one that enables us to move into the genre of a living history museum.
