Georgia Gilmore

Listened to a great Hidden Kitchens segment on NPR this morning on Georgia Gilmore. There were some great lines in program.

Georgia Gilmore was a civil rights activist who was involved in Alabama with the bus boycots and after getting fired for testifying in court she started cooking out of her home. Of her activisim she said : "You gotta have the get up". Regarding her abilities it was said : "her cooking was on the mama level". She and others organized a group to sell baked goods at Civil Rights rallies and they called themselves them "Club Nowhere".

Its a great show.
