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

"Opened in 1930 in Corbin, Kentucky by Harlan Sanders, the original restaurant marketed a plantation-style Southern image and the persona of a kindly Southern colonel to sell fried chicken; it later expanded into a global franchise and went public in 1969—raising the equivalent of over $95 million in 2022—despite having originated in a sundown town where Black residents faced discrimination and while drawing on culinary traditions perfected by enslaved Black women." - Madeleine Davies
