Demonstration is held to promote hiring of African-Americans by stores in Roxbury.

Sponsored by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, it is held on Tremont Street. The protest is part of a campaign to encourage supermarkets to hire African-American clerks and managers that results in Edward Cooper becoming hired as a manager by the First National supermarket in 1935 and Ruth Worthy and four others being hired as part-time clerks at Woolworth’s during the Christmas season of 1936.
