Black History Retail Collections

Target Launched Its Expansive Black History Month Collection

— February 4, 2022 — Social Good
American retail giant Target has announced the launch of its new Black History Month collection, which arrives as part of the brand's broader 'Black Beyond Measure' marketing campaign that focuses on highlighting black employees.

According to the company, the collection will consist of a range of products crossing multiple categories including apparel, accessories, beauty, home, toys, food, and more. In addition, the new range of items will include designs made by three winners of Target's 'HBCU Design Challenge' -- a competition that allows students from historically Black universities and colleges to submit ideas for the collection's lineup.

“This year we invested and partnered with more Black artists, designers, brands and even farms than ever before to bring the assortment to life,” said Tawnya Artisst, Target’s design director of multicultural product design and advancement. “
