What a heartening story, Pat. You're right--something we needed to hear this weekend!

Isn't she wonderful? Women who fed protests...there's a story for you!

This is wonderful. I’m going to look for her recipes on line. I’d love to be known for feeding folks, prepared with love. I think we do what we can do.

Got a feeling we may have a chance to try to fill Ms. Gilmore's shoes

So many surprising and inspiring phrases in those few minutes, what a life. It makes me happy she lives on. Great start for your Saturday shorts.

I think so, too. I feel so fortunate to have found her and honored she's the first for Saturday.

I remember listening to this in 2005! Thanks for the encore, Pat, and looking forward to more Saturday shorts.

It's not like Ms. Gilmore isn't known but only to a small circle of southern civil rights historians and food people. Passing her on!!

Great story from NPR and The Kitchen Sisters! I love learning about Georgia Gilmore and how her Club From Nowhere and cooking skills were so instrumental in the civil rights movement. Thanks so much for sharing and for the series, which I know, I will love!

You're so welcome! She's going to be hard to follow!

You’ll do it, Pat! I have faith in you!🤗
