Target Removes Misidentified Black History Products
TL;DR Summary
Target will no longer sell a civil rights activity kit that misidentified prominent Black leaders after a high school U.S. history teacher's viral TikTok video. The kit by Bendon Publishing mixed up the names of Carter G. Woodson, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington. The misidentification comes amid a culture war over discussing race and racism. The kit included magnets of notable civil rights leaders and was available ahead of Black History Month. The misidentification prompted outrage online, leading to Target pulling the product from its shelves.
