The screenshot is not an authentic tweet. The image was used to mark Emancipation Day 2020 by a regional account for KFC Trinidad, which removed the post and apologized after criticism. It did not reference Black History Month, and was not posted by the “@KFC” Twitter account. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-kfc-drumstick/fact-check-kfc-did-not-tweet-drumstick-image-for-black-history-month-idUSL1N2UX1NF
