Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
Target has removed an educational magnet collection from its stores after a high school history teacher pointed out that it misidentified three Black leaders. The "Civil Rights Magnetic Learning Activity" contained magnets and informational cards featuring illustrations of Black leaders and slogans from the civil rights movement, with several historical inaccuracies. Target stated that it would no longer sell the kit and has informed the product's publisher of the errors.
