In 2018, there is still a lot of work to do to in order to make sure that children of color are represented in toys, books and other products. Musing Mom , a parent blog featured a wonderful piece by a concerned parent about the lack of diversity in multiple stores (Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's) toy aisles. After roaming these stores looking for products for children of color she concluded, "Even if they are only a small percentage of the demographic, their relative omission from the shelves sends a powerful message to black children and their parents: You don’t matter. You are invisible. Even in play land, you get only a bit part. The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach." (click here to read Musing Mom article on Race in the Toy Aisle)
