Unemployed men are in line to get a free meal at Al Capone’s cafe, 1931

The famous criminal opened this cafe in Chicago. During the Great Depression, every second person in the city was unemployed. They literally had nothing to eat. Al Capone decided to kill 2 birds with one stone: both help the people and restore his public reputation.

The people of Chicago were fed 3 times a day. Al Capone was out there talking to the citizens and the visitors later told the media that they got far more help from the gangster than from the government.
