(BPRW) The First Women’s History Museum Dedicated to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) to Break Ground March 29

(Black PR Wire) Chicago, IL- In celebration of Women’s History Month, developers of the first Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) Ladies Auxiliary Women’s History Museum have announced its groundbreaking. The museum will be the first extension of the planned museum campus, on what will become A. Philip Randolph’s Way, the first Black Labor History Tourism District in America. 

This historic event will take place Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at 10432 S. Maryland Ave. only a few doors south of the National A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, which is the Northern boundary of the Pullman National Historical Park District. The ceremony will be hosted by the Honorable Stephanie D. Coleman, Alderman 16th Ward, President of the City of Chicago’s Black Caucus and dedicated advocate for community empowerment and historic preservation.

“It’s been a long road to this groundbreaking,” said museum founder Dr. Lyn Hughes. “It took us 16 months to get a building permit, but finally, we got it and are thrilled to be able to officially start this amazing project.”

The establishment of the BSCP Ladies Auxiliary Women’s History Museum will elevate the little-known stories and contributions of Black women throughout history. It is a commitment to preserving the narratives of those who did the work, paved the way, and too often were overlooked. Their struggles and successes will serve as a source of inspiration for future generations.
