Foodways Vol. 4 — The Church Kitchen: Repasts, Fundraisers, and Feeding a People (Kid-Friendly Edition — EPUB)

Church kitchens fed funerals, fundraisers, freedom work, and family reunions — and young readers meet the kitchen committees and church mothers who made it happen, and Georgia Gilmore, whose cooking helped fund a bus boycott. The repast chapter is warm and brief: feeding people through grief, with no founding date invented. Every chapter ends with a safe Kid-Kitchen Activity: no knives, no frying, and no heat steps for children.

Inside the Kid-Friendly Edition — EPUB: the complete book, all 6 chapters, full text, readable on any e-reader, tablet, or phone; every chapter closes with its sources and a method note — contested origins labeled contested, never settled by assertion. Kid-Kitchen Activities — one safe activity closes every chapter: no knives, no frying, no heat steps for children, with handwashing and allergy notes in every box. For educators: a TEKS correlation sheet for this volume is available with the Foodways Educator materials — claiming only what the sheet claims; eligible, not district-adopted.

The chapters: After the Funeral: The Repast · Dinner Sales and Building Funds · The Kitchen Committee · Feeding the Movement · Homecoming, Family Reunion, Church Anniversary · Who's Cooking Next?

The Interactive Edition of this same book adds recorded narration by Marcus (23.58 minutes), a chronological timeline, and a 10-question quiz. The hands that fed America — named at last. All receipts.
