      <image:caption>The Black Pullman Porters of 1900 were African American men employed to serve passengers aboard luxury railroad sleeping cars, most notably those operated by the Pullman Company. Despite working long hours for modest pay and enduring discrimination, they upheld a reputation for professionalism, dignity, and impeccable service. Many porters were formerly enslaved or descendants of enslaved people, and their work offered one of the few stable job opportunities available to Black men during that era.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yosemite and was guided by naturalist John Muir. The two men spent three memorable nights camping, first under the outstretched arms of the Grizzly Giant in the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, then in a snowstorm atop five feet of snow near Sentinel Dome, and finally in a meadow near the base of Bridalveil Fall. Their conversations and shared joy with the beauty and magnificence of Yosemite led Roosevelt to expand federal protection of Yosemite, and it inspired him to sign into existence five national parks, 18 national monuments, 55 national bird sanctuaries and wildlife refuges, and 150 national forests.</image:caption>

Despite working long hours for modest pay and enduring discrimination, they upheld a reputation for professionalism, dignity, and impeccable service. Many porters were formerly enslaved or descendants of enslaved people, and their work offered one of the few stable job opportunities available to Black men during that era.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yosemite and was guided by naturalist John Muir. The two men spent three memorable nights camping, first under the outstretched arms of the Grizzly Giant in the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, then in a snowstorm atop five feet of snow near Sentinel Dome, and finally in a meadow near the base of Bridalveil Fall. Their conversations and shared joy with the beauty and magnificence of Yosemite led Roosevelt to expand federal protection of Yosemite, and it inspired him to sign into existence five national parks, 18 national monuments, 55 national bird sanctuaries and wildlife refuges, and 150 national forests.</image:caption>
