Georgia Gilmore

During the days of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Georgia Gilmore lived in this house and was cited as a solid energetic boycott participant and supporter. Once arrested on a bus, she was ardent in her efforts to raise funds for the Movement and organized Club From Nowhere, whose members baked pies and cakes for sale to both black and white customers. Opening her home to all, she tirelessly cooked meals for participants including Dr. Martin Luther King and Dr. Ralph Abernathy. Her culinary skills continued to aid the cause of justice as she actively worked to encourage civil rights for the remainder of her life.
