a #Walmart featuring a Black employee in a cage asking for "bail" money

A fundraiser at a Walmart featuring a Black employee in a cage asking for "bail" money to contribute to the local Children's Miracle Network hospital is drawing withering criticism and demands for an investigation after a photo was posted to social media.

Angela Boateng spotted the display on Wednesday night at the Walmart in Providence, Rhode Island, where she was making a return. She snapped a photo that was later posted to Twitter by Angela Ankoma, who leads the Rhode Island Foundation's Equity Leadership Initiative. Ankoma in her post said she was "perplexed."
