Hey everyone Dan here. This week's reheat is called Searching for Rosa Parks

Pancakes and we're reheating it because of a request from a listener.

Hello Dan and the Sporkful this is Caroline in Atlanta I'd love to hear in search of

Rosa Park's pancake recipe as a sporkful reheat. My partner and I love peanut

butter and I made these pancakes the other Saturday for brunch. They were even fluffier than I remembered. I'd love to share this episode with my partner

maybe over another batch of these pancakes. Thank you.

Well, Caroline, I'm happy to give you and your partner the chance to listen to this one again.

I love this episode and I made these pancakes too. They are delicious.

And I think once you hear the story behind them, they taste even better.

For all you out there, if you have an episode you'd like us to reheat, send me a message at

hello at sporkful.com. We may feature you and your pick soon.

And hey, one more quick note, my friend Nicole Taylor, who's featured in this episode,

has a more recent cookbook that you can check out called

Watermelon and Redbirds. Okay let's get to the show.

In 2016 the Library of Congress posted a bunch of the personal documents of Rosa Parks

online for the first time.

There are postcards from Martin Luther King, lists of volunteers for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and pages of journals.

In one entry, Mrs. Parks writes about what she learned from her grandparents, who had both

been enslaved.

Curator Adrian Cannon reads an excerpt.

I learned to cook by observing my grandmother and could prepare a simple meal

almost as soon as I was tall enough to reach the stove top.
