Calls for Target to remove magnets, Black history icons are mislabeled - The Daily Dot Parent Calls Out Target for Mislabeling Black History Icons

Parent calls for Target to remove civil rights magnets from shelves after noticing Black history icons are mislabeled

One woman called out Target after noticing some discrepancies in its Black History Month merchandise. The outrage it stirred forced the company to take action.

“So I teach U.S. history, I study U.S. history, and got my major in social studies,” she said. “I noticed some discrepancies as soon as I opened this.”

She compared the picture labeled “Carter G. Woodson” with another Black icon. “This is W.E.B Dubois,” she claimed. “Peep the stash, peep the stash; they got the name wrong.”
