INFO on the store: Brown's (store tag on tie)
Brown's: ITS YOUR STORE refers to:
John A. Brown's Department Store OK CITY,OK.
George Dayton founded Dayton's Department Store Chain in 1902 in Minneapolis. Dayton Dept. Store merged with J.L.Hudson Co. in 1969 becoming Dayton-Hudson, and developed a discount store--Target--which they held with five additional stores, including Brown's of Oklahoma City. In 1984, Dayton-Hudson sold Brown's to the Dillard's Department Store Chain.
BROWN'S AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: It was at Brown's Department Store in 1957 that the longest non-violent sit-ins were staged by the NAACP Youth Council, opposing the stores policy of racial discrimination. The sit-in at Brown’s began August 22, 1958, and continued without cessation until June 23, 1961. It was the longest single sit-in campaign of the country by 1961. The sit-in was resolved after Brown’s agreed to end bias in the lunchroom, soda fountains, and rest rooms throughout the store. By the time Brown’s desegregated, 117 stores had been integrated in Oklahoma City through the efforts of the NAACP Youth Council.
