Mr. Colle is a new social studies teacher at CCCHS. Yesterday, his students researched George Mortimer Pullman, an American industrialist who manufactured luxury railroad sleeping cars.

He also developed Pullman, Illinois, as a company town for his workers. In 1894, wage cuts and high rents helped trigger the Pullman Strike, a major event in U.S. labor history. The strike eventually involved federal troops and contributed to the creation of Labor Day as a federal holiday. Students debated who was right or wrong in the conflict. #Celebrate379
