Reverend Otis Moss Jr, a civil rights leader, sought to initiate change at Shillito's department store, advocating for the hiring of Black workers across all areas.
This meeting underscored not only the economic disparities faced by Black Americans but also highlighted the civil rights movement's relentless push for equality in all sectors.
The Christmas season, bustling with activity and joy, starkly contrasted the ongoing struggle for equal employment opportunities that leaders like Moss were fighting for.
The visual representation of Santa Claus by Black figures helped to challenge traditional stereotypes and advanced a broader narrative of inclusion and representation.
