The Black Santa Clause: When Department Stores Refused To Hire Us

This video uncovers untold black history behind a cultural fight most textbooks ignore: for decades, American department stores profited from Black customers while refusing to hire Black Santa Claus performers. From early 1900s minstrel-style mockery to Harlem’s first dignified Black Santa, we trace how Black communities pushed back with boycotts, protests, and organized pressure—forcing stores to finally recognize Black dignity during the Christmas season. You’ll learn how economic power and Black purchasing power became a weapon, why representation in “American symbols” was treated like a threat, and how leaders challenged the lie that a Black Santa “doesn’t fit.”

At Untold Black Heritage, our mission is to protect Black history archives, share hidden black history, and honor African American history beyond a single month. This story connects Black heritage and Black culture to modern debates over representation, proving the same gatekeeping still shapes who gets seen, hired, and respected.
