Ferris U.'s Racist Memorabilia Museum Designed to Spark Dialogue

The small Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris University is generating a good deal of publicity, for good reason.  The massive collection of not-so-distant artifacts from America’s racist past are in one place, in your face, for the purpose of promoting discussion.

Born from the personal collection of, and curated by, former sociology professor Dr. David Pilgrim (an African American), the items–many from beloved consumer brands such as Aunt Jemima–are classified by the content of the stereotype.
