Whitney g sincerely carter6/10/2023 From their childhood conversations through to their adulthood heartbreaks, these characters and their friendship was so a. OH GOSH we fell HEAD OVER HEELS in love with this book! A friend to lovers’ tale is one of our favourite themes and when the story is told from childhood to adulthood… cue the heart melt! Seriously….could little Carter and Ari be any bloody cuter? We were so enamoured with these two. “You’ve been there for every moment of my life and I’ve been there for yours, too.” I’m only saying this until I figure out if she’s still “just” my best friend… Throughout the years, and despite what anyone says, we’ve never crossed the line. (We even went to colleges that were minutes away from each other…) We’ve been there for one another through first kisses, first “times,” and we’ve been each other’s constant when good relationships turned bad. Arizona Turner has been my best friend since fourth grade, even when we “hated” each other. The golden arches in black america6/10/2023 Franchise was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in History and the Hagley Prize for the best book in business history. The author of South Side Girls, Chatelain lives in Washington, DC. Marcia Chatelain is a professor of history and African American studies at Georgetown University, and is a leading public voice on the history of race, education, and food culture. Synthesizing years of research, Franchise tells a troubling success story of an industry that blossomed the very moment a freedom movement began to wither. With the discourse of social welfare all but evaporated, federal programs under presidents Johnson and Nixon promoted a new vision for racial justice: that the franchising of fast food restaurants, by black citizens in their own neighborhoods, could finally improve the quality of black life. In Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, Marcia Chatelain explores how fast food restaurants saturated black neighborhoods and became, as well, a focal point in the development of “black capitalism.” To tell this story, she charts 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.
