Meet Yolanda Travis, The Owner and Operator Who Took Over The First-Ever Black-Owned McDonald’s

“I wanted to bring the community together and show them and tell them about this wonderful Black man, Mr. Herman Petty,” Travis said in a video interview with McDonald’s Corporation in 2021. “There are very few, if any, Black historical sites in the city of Chicago, especially on the South side of Chicago. So, this was my opportunity to give back to the community.”
