Georgia Gilmore : ウィキペディア英語版 | Georgia Gilmore Georgia Teresa Gilmore (February 5, 1920 – March 3, 1990) was an African American woman from Montgomery, Alabama who participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott through her fund-raising effort selling food at the boycott's mass meetings. Her grass-roots activism helped to sustain the long boycott and inspired similar groups to begin raising money. ==Background== Gilmore worked as a midwife in Montgomery where she lived with her six children. Though described as kind and motherly, Gilmore was also known for her fiery temper especially in response to the racial injustices so common in 1950s Alabama. She would resist discrimination on buses and even confronted white men in the community if they mistreated her or her family. Gilmore also worked at the National Lunch Company in Montgomery as a cook until the beginning of the bus boycott in late 1955.
