Chicago's Soul Queen, Helen Maybell Anglin, was influential in the civil rights movement here in Chicago by providing free meals to marchers and equal rights leaders — MLK and Jesse Jackson — when not many people would.
Her South Side restaurants — including her current establishment, Soul Queen Restaurant — are her culinary legacy.
At his best, Mark Konkol is a White Sox fan. He lives on the South Side. He
enjoys cold beer. At one time or another over the last 10 years, he's covered Chicago and Cook County government, city schools, transportation and the ins-and-outs of neighborhood life. E-mail him at mkonkol@suntimes.com.
