Great work. Now what are they doing about Amazon/Washington Post? Pepco? The 400 other companies that routinely disadvantage Black citizens in DC? I understand Target had a national movement that started years ago, but this singular focus on one company (that never seemed to actually do anything specifically harming people?) is getting ridiculous when everyone out here is struggling at the hands of the non-Target corporations. This group just sounds out of touch.

Felder: Instrumental to Success
I was in one of the bands that Bobby Felder started at Kelly Miller Junior High School. He believed in the students and encouraged their ability. The school had received new instruments like a bassoon, French horn and oboe. … We all appreciated the opportunity to do what we enjoyed and the support and encouragement we received from Mr. Felder. I played the French horn from that time through my freshman year at Howard University.
