GEORGIA GILMORE, midwife and cook in Montgomery, AL, was prominently involved in the 1955 citywide bus boycotts inspired by Rosa Parks. Known for her meals, she started her own home-based restaurant and established the CLUB FROM NOWHERE, selling fresh baked goods and the proceeds went to the MIA. The club name allowed them to earn money for the movement without raising the suspicion of white officials and members of the Klan.
