Luxury fashion brand Prada will work to better promote diversity and cultural sensitivity following massive backlash for selling merchandise that resembled blackface. In 2018, civil rights attorney Chinyere Ezie uploaded a photo on social media that showed the window display of a New York City Prada store filled with figurines that she described as “racist and denigrating blackface imagery.” This is Chinyere Ezie speaking at a press conference in New York City following news of the historic settlement Thursday.
Chinyere Ezie: “Our voices, our outrage, our demands for dignified treatment can and will change the world.”
