Food for Thought: The Private Side of a Public Family

Image: African Americans protest against the Philadelphia Transportation Company's policy of not hiring black motormen or conductors, Nov. 1943. Federal pressure due to wartime labor shortages led the company to change that policy in the summer of 1944, which sparked a strike by white workers and a military takeover of Philadelphia's transit system as a wartime emergency.
