How Mahalia Jackson Imagined Fried Chicken as a Path to Black Success - Eater

"Among those white people were Harlan Sanders, now better known as Colonel Sanders, who — marketing plantation imagery — would go on to open the first Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1930 in Corbin, Kentucky, a town that John T. Edge of the Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA) describes as 'a sundown town — in other words, a town where Blacks were welcome during the day but not at night.' Eventually, KFC would blossom into the global franchise that it is today — all riding the image of a cartoonish Southern colonel." - Madeleine Davies
