Kyle Sales, a teenage worker at a Lowe’s in Washington, was instructed to take off his “Black Panther Wakanda Forever” shirt by a manager after a customer found it offensive and racist.

Questioning the Decision

Reflections on Prejudice

Sales, who had experienced racial prejudice in the past, felt the incident was a form of discrimination. He compared it to negative experiences he had during high school and previous jobs.

Lowe’s Apology and Commitment
