Y’ALL, COME EAT!
Southern foodways draw from traditions passed down through generations,
commonly featuring ingredients like sweet potatoes, collard greens, okra,
corn, and black-eyed peas. Food, like dishes created by Georgia Gilmore and
Rosa Parks, played a significant role in driving and sustaining the civil rights
movement by providing nourishment and energy for the activists, leaders,
and supporters who tirelessly fought for the rights of Black Americans in the
mid-20th century. Try these recipes from the civil rights movement era
and jot down more of your favorites on the next page.
