ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Coon Chicken Inn

So, back in the old days, there was a restaurant called Coon Chicken Inn. It was a restaurant that had a big sign outside with a chicken that was shaped like a black person's head.

Now, this restaurant was around during a time when people didn't always treat Black people very nicely. And because of that, many people thought that having a restaurant with a sign like that was very mean and hurtful to Black people.

So, many people protested against the restaurant and eventually, it had to close down.

It's important to remember that we should treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter what they look like or where they come from. And we shouldn't have restaurants or signs that hurt other people's feelings.
