Rosa’s Pancake Recipe

Rosa Parks’ “Featherlite Pancake” recipe was written on the back of an envelope. After she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus in 1955, she and her husband lost their jobs and eventually moved to Detroit. They struggled financially and had to be frugal, which is why she reused papers, like banking envelopes, for recipes. Dan Pashman for NPR
