We remember Chicago black history makers from the past present and future! Happy Black History Month!

Uncle Remus was founded and created by Gus and Mary Rickette who traveled from Leland, MS to Chicago to create a better life for their family. After learning about the food industry, they established 3 Royal Chicken locations by March of 1963. Two of the three locations were later burned down during the 1968 riots. While one location was still standing, Gus was looking to get a sign made for the outside of the establishment. The cheapest sign they could find was one premade with the words `Uncle Remus’  already on it. Gus bought it and later officially changed the restaurant name to Uncle Remus in 1969.
