Pies from nowhere : how Georgia Gilmore sustained the Montgomery bus boycott

Romito, Dee (author.). Freeman, Laura (Illustrator), (illustrator.).

Summary: Georgia Gilmore was a cook at the National Lunch Company in Montgomery, Alabama. When the bus boycotts broke out in Montgomery after Rosa Parks was arrested, Georgia organized a group of women who cooked and baked to fund-raise for gas and cars to help sustain the boycott. This picture book highlights a hidden figure of the civil rights movement who fueled the bus boycotts and demonstrated that one person can make a real change in her community and beyond--Adapted from publisher description.
