The author, who was a Pullman porter, reflects on the white supremacy in America against blacks. His book covers a conversation between a learned Pullman porter (the author) and a passenger, a state senator from Oklahoma. They discuss a book belonging to the porter on equality of the races. At first the senator refuted it. However, with further reading and discussions with the porter, his racial prejudice diminished and he developed an understanding and appreciation of blacks.
