“If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” ― Zora Neale Hurston Because they lead my people astray, saying, Peace, when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,Ezekiel 13:10 On Christmas Day, Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx’s Annie opened in movie theaters. The remake of the musical and ’80s movie was nothing but a success and has even garnered Quvenzhané a Golden Globe nomination, but one retailer seems to have forgotten that she’s the star of the movie. A Change.org petition was recently created after Target shoppers noticed that Quvenzhané was not featured in any of the ads for Target’s Annie-inspired collection. The ads feature white models, and people are outraged. Although the lookbook does include models of all ethnicities, the in-store display ads seem to feature only white models. theroot/blogs/the_grapevine/2014/12/target_customers_create_petition_over_annie_ads_that_don_t_feature_quvenzhan.html
