"The Collective further emphasized that “this was not intended to be an attack on the 21 Club itself.” Rather, it offered the chic establishment the opportunity to ally itself with “a movement that needs all of the allies it can get.”
Alas, the patronage did not exactly rise to the occasion. One petulant diner tossed his menu aside, with the remark “I’m not racist. I don’t need this.” And in a flagrantly disturbing display of poor taste, another nervously joked, “I’ll take the VonDerritt Meyers Jr.” At the time of the flash mob, the 21 Club was entirely filled with white patrons.
Committed to preserving the memories of black children killed by the police, the Never 21 Collective employs “creative direct action” to engage the public. This is their second initiative. For their first, they infiltrated the Forever 21 in Union Square, dressing the storefront mannequins in Black Lives Matter tee-shirts."
