Author Talk With Marcia Chatelain |
|
|
|
Wednesday, August 3
11 am-noon
Online Event
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.
This is a virtual event and registration is required. You can see recordings of our past author talks here.
