.@NTerryEllis and I have spent the last several weeks speaking to dozens of people involved in the effort to boycott Target in the wake of their retreat from diversity commitments.
This is no small issue. It's a real conversation in Black communities.
Across the country, faith leaders and civil rights activists are calling for boycotts, urging consumers to redirect their spending to Black-owned businesses.

Just in: 110-year old Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre voted today in Oklahoma. I’m told she voted for Vice President Harris.
This is a really good read.
I was in the room at #nabj when Donald Trump told 1000s of Black journalists that VP Kamala Harris had just recently “turned” Black. So, I wrote about the historical amnesia at play: “It seems that when a mixed-race Black American appears to be ascending to the pinnacles of American power, some white Americans suddenly forget the race rules that white society created.” nytimes.com/2024/08/04/magaz…
Chandelis is a talented journalist, a consummate professional and an amazing friend. While this news in its entirety is heartbreaking, I feel blessed to know her and to have worked with her.
He’s saying this about a woman who attended a historically Black college (Howard) and joined a historically Black sorority. (AKA)
Trump just defined what a "Black job" is during NABJ forum. He said it is "anybody that has a job." #NABJ24

.@RepJamesClyburn on GOP calling VP Harris a 'DEI hire': "Was she DEI when she became AG? Was she DEI when she became Senator? So why is she DEI when she is running for president? If any white guy had that foundation they would be saying he is well prepared to be president.”

The first thing I thought about was how painful that comment could be for a lot of women from both sides of the aisle.
