Target Pulls Inaccurate Civil Rights Book

Target has removed a children's activity book named 'Civil Rights Magnetic Learning Activity' from its offerings after Las Vegas high school US history teacher, Tierra Espy, highlighted errors in labelling historical Black figures such as Carter G. Woodson, W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington in a TikTok video. The video has been viewed more than 975,000 times. The retailer, facing criticism for the inaccurate product, has responded by saying it would stop selling the product and contact the publisher, Bendon. However, Espy expressed that there had been no apology from the company or the publisher. Despite these incidents, Target continues to sell a variety of Black History Month products.
