Black History, Inc! Investigating the Production of Black History through Walmart's Corporate Web Site
King, LaGarrett J.; Brown, Anthony L.
Multicultural Perspectives, v14 n1 p4-10 2012

Given the educational climate in which many students' exposure to Black history may come from outside of schools, the authors examine how Walmart's Black History Month Web site produced simplistic and safe narratives about African American history.
