Pies from Nowhere: How Georgia Gilmore Sustained the Montgomery Bus Boycott
by Dee Romito
Description
In Montgomery, Alabama, when the bus boycott begins, Georgia Gilmore—often overlooked in history—finds a powerful way to fight back: through baking, cooking, and community care. As she teams up with a group of women to raise funds and feed supporters, her “Club from Nowhere” turns simple ingredients into sustenance for mass meetings and momentum for the movement. This picture book brings to life the determination, ingenuity, and quiet courage that sustained the boycott long enough to change the course of civil rights history. With an accessible, story-driven style and a kid-friendly recipe included, it celebrates themes of hidden leadership, collective action, and how one person’s skills can become a spark for justice.
