Virtual Author Talk: Franchise with Marcia Chatelain

Join us in conversation with Dr. Marcia Chatelain as she discusses her Pulitzer prize-winning book, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America. In Franchise, Chatelain uncovers a surprising history of cooperation among fast-food companies, black capitalists, and civil rights leaders, who–in the troubled years after King’s assassination–believed they found an economic answer to the problem of racial inequality. Dr. Marcia Chatelain is a Professor of History and African American Studies at Georgetown University. Learn more and register here to receive the access link.
