520    A long-overdue biography of the head of Grand Central 
       Terminal's Red Caps, who flourished in the cultural nexus 
       of Harlem and American railroads. In a feat of remarkable 
       research and timely reclamation, Eric K. Washington 
       uncovers the nearly forgotten life of James H. Williams 
       (1878-1948), the chief porter of Grand Central Terminal's 
       Red Caps-a multitude of Harlem-based black men whom he 
       organized into the essential labor force of America's most
       august railroad station. Washington reveals that despite 
       the highly racialized and often exploitative nature of the
       work, the Red Cap was a highly coveted job for college-
       bound black men determined to join New York's bourgeoning 
       middle class. Examining the deeply intertwined subjects of
       class, labor, and African American history, Washington 
       chronicles Williams's life, showing how the enterprising 
       son of freed slaves successfully navigated the segregated 
       world of the northern metropolis, and in so doing 
       ultimately achieved financial and social influence. With 
       this biography, Williams must now be considered, along 
       with Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jacqueline Onassis, one of 
       the great heroes of Grand Central's storied past.
