During the Depression African Americans Bill and Geraldine walker started a barbecue stand that specialized in hot pork sandwiches in Athens, Georgia. Bill Walker first started accumulating capital in Athens working for “white folks” at the age of ten. He later migrated to nearby Atlanta where he worked briefly at a barbecue stand, a fraternity house, and other sundry places for two years. “I was saving my money all that time to set up a barbecue stand of my own some day,” he told a WPA writer. After Bill married Geraldine they opened a pit barbecue stand. “When we sure opened up for business, I had 500 circulars distributed in a radius of 10 blocks around here, and then we went to work, day and night, to build up our trade.” Despite the Depression, flyers and word of mouth had the couple doing a brisk business in ten-cent barbecue sandwiches, corn bread, and other items including drinks. Here is a Georgia barbecue sauce recipe.
