{"value"=>"<p>Materials related to McLaurin's labor union work are held in series I. The series is chronologically arranged into two subseries: Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP), and Professional Household Workers Association (PHWA).</p> <p>The series illustrates McLaurin's evolving responsibilities in the BSCP, from a rank-and-file member to administrative positions, first as Chairman of the Social Committee and later as the Eastern Zone Supervisor. His tenure in union leadership then applied to his active role in the establishment and organization of the PHWA. Dating from 1936 to 1988, the series holds correspondence, grievances, dues, articles of incorporation, meeting minutes, expense reports, informational flyers, wage records, union contracts, and Pullman company porter manuals.</p>"}
