Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia
The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University, Big Rapids, Michigan, displays a wide variety of artifacts, including cartoons, figurines, and advertising, depicting the history of racist portrayals of African Americans in American popular culture.
Curator David Pilgrim explains, in his essay "The Garbage Man: Why I collect racist objects": "I collect this garbage because I believe, and know to be true, that forms of intolerance can be used to teach tolerance.".〔.〕
The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia is a collection of racist artifacts dating from the present back to the segregation era in the United States, put together by Ferris State University Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion, David Pilgrim. The exhibit has over 9,000 pieces.
==History==
David Pilgrim, a former professor of sociology at Ferris State University, started to collect racist memorabilia in flea markets across America in the 1970s. By 1996, the collection had grown to over 2,000 pieces, and Pilgrim decided to donate the collection to Ferris State because “it needed a real home.” Presently, the collection has grown to over 10,000 pieces that perpetuate African-American stereotypes and in some cases promote violence against them.
