Fast food is a staple of American culture, but, in recent decades, there has been a new focus on health and wage inequality.
Jeffrey Brown talks to author Marcia Chatelain about the complicated history of McDonald’s in the Black community, how the fast food giant supported Black franchise owners, but was a trap for unhealthy diets and low wages.
