Georgia Gilmore played a pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. After vowing to never ride the buses again because of racism and segregation, she later started the Club From Nowhere which was a grassroots project to provide food and funds for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., other civil rights leaders, and thousands of other people were fed by Ms. Gilmore, partaking in soul food, fellowship, and a sense of community while being part of the resistance. A meal was much more than staying nourished. It inspired political and social change and, in this case, is more evidence of black resilience in America.
Tune in to learn more about this history and how black women like Ms. Gilmore were the unsung heroes of the boycott, the civil rights movement, and continue to be at the forefront of the fight for racial justice.
