RACIAL RECKONINGS-On June 30, the New York Times published an article,
This is after the nation’s #2 discount retailer publicly committed to investing $2 billion in Black communities following Target’s “woke” moment in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the looting of its South Minneapolis store, which is across the street from where the third precinct police station burned.
The story quoted Sadiq Ali, former manager of the Mondawmin store in West Baltimore’s historic Black community that closed in 2018: “When white folks started shopping in the store, it meant they felt safe enough to cross the tracks.”
