    How the #Sears #Catalog Outsmarted #JimCrow

    This book sold the same stove, suit, or pair of boots to anyone at the same printed price. When #Rural Free Delivery brought it to the mailbox, the #SearsRoebuck catalog landed on #Black families’ porches it turned shopping from a ritual of humiliation into something closer to dignity.

    Here’s how the Sears mail‑order catalog quietly beat Jim Crow

    Is there a conclusive answer as to whether #SearsRoebuck co-founder #AlvahRoebuck was part black or not? I'd like to profile him for an article, but he seems to have been a private, low profile guy and didn't disclose much about his race (though he was a champion of a few civil rights causes). Has anyone done his genealogy? #BlackHistoryMonth
