The daughters of one of the co-founders of Target are expressing their alarm and shock at the discounter's recent moves to roll back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that have come under attack from conservative activists and of last month, the White House.
In letters to the editor published Thursday in The Financial Times and the Los Angeles Times, Anne and Lucy Dayton said their father, Bruce Dayton, along with his four other brothers, expanded their father's Minneapolis department store into a massive brand that became Target that was built on two principles: a focus on the customer and the well-being of the community.
