Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America by Marcia Chatelain

Cathy calls up Dr. Marcia Chatelain, scholar, speaker and Professor at Georgetown University whose latest book, Franchise, examines the intersection of the post-1968 civil rights struggle and the rise of fast food industry. Marcia talks about how the fast food industry targeted Black communities, leading to a troubling success story of an industry in the wake of a freedom movement.
