When the bus boycott began in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, after Rosa Parks's arrest, Georgia Gilmore knew just what to do. She organized a group of women, the Club from Nowhere, who cooked and baked to fund-raise for the boycott. Their name came from Georgia's reply to anyone who asked where the money came from, "nowhere." Georgia would testify in court on Martin Luther King Jr.'s behalf, and her home became a meeting place for civil rights leaders.

This picture book highlights a hidden figure of the civil rights movement who fueled the bus boycott and demonstrated that one person can make a real change in her community and beyond.
