Library of Congress posts Rosa Parks’ ‘Featherlite’ pancake recipe

(CNN)– The internet asked and the Library of Congress delivered. The library has released Rosa Parks’ “Featherlite Pancakes” recipe.

Not only is the receipt unusual because it calls for peanut butter but it’s written on the back of a first independent national bank of Detroit envelope by Rosa Parks herself.

It was gifted to the Library of Congress in 2016 as part of the Rosa Parks collection.
