June 27, 2021 THIS WEEK IN BLACK HISTORY GEORGIA GILMORE A state historical plaque marks the Gilmore home. Of the many women who were instrumental in aiding the civil rights movement, Georgia Gilmore’s name deserves more mention. During the height of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Gilmore created a secret club and restaurant that supplied food and a meeting place for Black and white organizers. Gilmore was born February 5, 1920 in Montgomery, Alabama. A midwife and mother of six, she worked as a cook at a local eatery. In December 1955, Rosa Parks effectively kicked off the bus boycotts by refusing to move from her bus seat, which in turn inspired Gilmore, who was noted for shouting down bigots. After getting fired from her job for participating in the boycott and testifying against a driver, Gilmore and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who nicknamed her “Tiny,” crossed paths. The famed leader suggested that Gilmore convert her kitchen into a restau- rant to make ends meet, and she did so while supplying meals to the Memphis Improvement Association and boycott organizers. This became the inspiration behind the “Club From Nowhere,” serving full meals to MIA members and boycott participants, while also serving as a de facto meeting hub that both white and Black members could safely discuss their plans. The success of the club was so great that a rival group started by Inez Ricks called “The Friendly Club” began their own meal service and the groups had well-meaning competitions to see who could raise more funds. The monies made at the Club From Nowhere helped fund MIA and boycott efforts while also helping Gilmore keep afloat financially. Not much is written about her life after the boycotts ended but she was featured in the PBS documentary Eyes On The Prize. Gilmore passed in 1990 on March 3, near the 25th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday event. Sacraments To Whom Do We Go RECONCILIATION (CONFESSION): Saturdays 3:00 PM and by appointment.

    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. III, 1917-1968 Black Belt Press The ONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT M and the WOMEN WHO STARTED IT __________________________ The Memoir of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson __________________________ Mrs. Jo Ann Gibson Robinson Black women in Montgomery, Alabama, unlocked a remarkable spirit in their city in late 1955. Sick of segregated public transportation, these women decided to wield their financial power against the city bus system and, led by Jo Ann Gibson Robinson (1912-1992), convinced Montgomery's African Americans to stop using public transportation. Robinson was born in Georgia and attended the segregated schools of Macon. After graduating from Fort Valley State College, she taught school in Macon and eventually went on to earn an M.A. in English at Atlanta University. In 1949 she took a faculty position at Alabama State College in Mont- gomery. There she joined the Women's Political Council. When a Montgomery bus driver insulted her, she vowed to end racial seating on the city's buses. Using her position as president of the Council, she mounted a boycott. She remained active in the civil rights movement in Montgomery until she left that city in 1960. Her story illustrates how the desire on the part of individuals to resist oppression — once *it is organized, led, and aimed at a specific goal — can be transformed into a mass movement. Mrs. T. M. Glass Ch. 2: The Boycott Begins n Friday morning, December 2, 1955, a goodly number of Mont- gomery’s black clergymen happened to be meeting at the Hilliard O Chapel A.

  • Philanthropy
    CULTURAL ICONS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE The Iconic Impact Initiative by Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, LLC 12 TOP PIONEERS OF BLACK PHILANTHROPY By Dwayne Ashley, Tashion Macon, Ph.D, Jennifer Jiles 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy 1 | Introduction INTRODUCTION Nine years ago, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors issued a report on philanthropy that reported what to many was a startling fact but reflected what those of us on the ground already knew. Each year, the report said, Black donors give away 25 percent more of their incomes than White donors. Nearly two-thirds of Black households make donations, worth a total of about $11 billion a year. “African Americans have been very uncomfortable with the title of philanthropist,” Judy Belk, senior vice president of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, told Reuters news service. “If you don’t see role models who look like you when people start talking about issues related to philanthropy, you start believing, ‘Hey, maybe I’m not a philanthropist.’” That’s why Bridge Philanthropic Consultants felt it was critical to release 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy as its way to commemorate Black History Month. Black philanthropy has always existed. But Blacks were brought to America as slaves, were obstructed from achieving the American dream after emancipation by systemic racism, and have seen their philanthropic achievements receive little to no attention outside their own community. We are here to shine the spotlight on them not just to give the recognition they deserve but to set them out as role models. For example, the name of Frederick D.

  • The Welcome Table Copyright 2000 John T Edge Originally Published in the Oxford American
    The Welcome Table Copyright 2000 John T Edge Originally published in the Oxford American For Southerners born of my generation and later, the defining moment in our region’s history was not the Civil War, but the Civil Rights Movement. When I seek good guys to emulate and bad guys to vilify, I look not to Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant but to Myrlie Evers Williams and Byron de la Beckwith, Rosa Parks and Bull Connor, Will Campbell and Ross Barnett. They are my pantheon, my pariahs. Unlike those soldiers of old, many of my heroes and villains are still very much with us. And nowhere else in the South have I felt their presence more than in Montgomery, Alabama. Here, you’re likely to take a seat in a café beneath a portrait of Rosa Parks only to spot her crusading attorney, Fred Gray, two tables over, sopping up potlikker with a wedge of cornbread. Here, honorable people who still hold hope for the Beloved Community gather for breakfast meetings to talk about race and bigotry over biscuits and bacon, grits and eggs. ## As would befit a state capitol, Montgomery is rife with historical markers, dull, bronze placards pointing the way to the childhood home of this distinguished lawmaker or that noted orator, and, of course, to the state capitol high atop Goat Hill, a monolith of whitewashed masonry, as commanding a sight today as it must have been back in February of 1861 when Jefferson Davis mounted the steps of the front portico to take the oath of office as President of the Confederate States of America.

It encompasses the challenges, civic work, social justice, and efforts as they emerged as social activists. Additionally, this study is based on the premise that these noteworthy Southern African-American women’s social activist organizations, The Georgia League of Negro Women Voters as founded by Ruby Parks Blackburn and the National Domestic Union established by Dorothy Lee Bolden made a major impact in the Atlanta area. Although they were both from two totally different lifestyles, it is without a doubt that these two fearless women originators of very i successful organizations were instrumental in joining together African-American citizens of Atlanta Georgia. ii CHARTING THE UNSUNG LEGACY OF TWO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN’S SOCIAL ACTIVIST ORGANIZATIONS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENTS OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY DELORES D.
