An undated two-page sheet in the Rosa Parks Papers sketches Operation Breadbasket’s national geography under Chicago letterhead. It numbers 44 geographic entries, but the internal division matters: #1–20 sit in one column while #21–44 are headed “Projections — (subject to revision).” Atlanta is labeled Parent Chapter (#1); Chicago National Office (#2). The list reaches Detroit (#10), Selma (#20), and projected targets as far as Anchorage–Juneau (#43).
The sheet does not prove 44 operating outposts, staffing, strikes, or merchant agreements. It is undated; folder range 1965–1985 is catalog description not creation date. Parks’s papers preserve it — that is not authorship, endorsement, circulation, or outpost work by Parks. The word “projections” is the document’s own qualification.
