Local Islamic leaders ask blacks to “boycott” big box stores for black owned businesses

Flanked by a number of black community leaders from Milwaukee, Student Minister William Muhammad opened a press conference at City Hall on November 17. Minister Muhammad leads the Muhammad Mosque #3 located at 4202 North Teutonia Ave. The press conference was called to encourage blacks to boycott the so-called ‘Black Friday’ Christmas shopping season and instead save the money or spend more responsible amounts on gifts purchased at minority-owned stores and businesses.
