{"value"=>"<p>Recording of a mock funeral for the cosmetics company Revlon, staged by Jesse Jackson's Operation PUSH Inc., and held at PUSH headquarters, Chicago, Illinois. The funeral was a protest tactic against Revlon following controversy surrounding racist remarks made by the president of Revlon's professional product division, Irving J. Bottner. The group also led boycotts of Revlon products, with the support of Black beauticians and salon owners, and <span class=\"title\">Essence</span> magazine banned Revlon's ads from its pages. The boycotters' demands extended beyond Bottner's remarks and included a call for Revlon to divest its holdings in apartheid-era South Africa. Funeral proceedings include songs, speeches by Black business owners, and a eulogy delivered by Reverend Herbert Daughtry.</p> <p>v01f01: Part 1 of 2.</p> <p>v01f02: Part 2 of 2.</p>"}
