A proud moment at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, where the Herman Petty Room now recognizes a true Chicago trailblazer. In 1968, Petty opened his first McDonald’s near Jackson Park, creating a breakthrough moment for Black entrepreneurship on the South Side and helping open doors for generations of business owners and community leaders.

 Joined by the Petty family and leaders from McDonald’s, the Black McDonald’s Operators Association (BMOA) and the Obama Foundation, the ceremony reflected Petty’s enduring impact on entrepreneurship, community investment and future changemakers.
