#OTD On November 18, 1933, under the direction of Kiowa Costonie and the Citywide Young People’s Forum led by Juanita Jackson Mitchell, young African Americans picketed stores on Pennsylvania Avenue for refusing to hire African Americans.
This was one of many “Buy Where You Can Work” campaigns that were held in major cities during the Great Depression to protest Black Unemployment. These protests help lay the foundation for organized actions during the Civil Rights Movement.

The first VP-elect to graduate from an HBCU.
