Pecan pie recipe below!Yesterday we talked about the unsung church mothers in Albany, Georgia (the home of Ray Charles) who feed Ralph Abernathy, Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), and other members of the civil movement that converged on that southern city in 1961. Albany Police Chief Laurie Pritchett restrained his forces from using violence on the protestors and he ordered the wholesale arrest of them and incarceration in separate holding places in neighboring hamlets thus keeping his jails from getting overcrowded. Pritchett held Abernathy, MLK, and other leaders of the movement in Albany proper in horrid conditions including withholding food. Local black women heard about the conditions and began feeding those in jail with some good down home cooking. “Not only did the women bring hot dishes that evening, but they also baked pies, cakes, and cookies; and somebody even churned a couple of quarts of homemade ice cream for us,” says Ralph Abernathy. He adds, “Just when we had finished off one delivery, a woman would come in with a new basket and we would start eating all over again.” Here is a recipe for pecan pie, which some say, MLK’s favorite.
