Some of these images are vulgar; most will offend members of the audience. The presenter did not create the images. The images are not meant to shock, but to stimulate honest discussion. Many of these images are found on objects in the Jim Crow Museum. David Pilgrim Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Ferris State University Them

We are a learning lab— using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. See, The objects created by a culture both reflect and shape the attitudes, beliefs, and values of that culture.

That’s Not All, Folks Our goal is to get people to talk openly and honestly about race, race relations, racism, and other isms.

“Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” Letter from Birmingham Jail April 16, 1963 US civil rights leader and clergyman ( )

Racial Propaganda Jim Crow attitudes, values, norms, laws, and etiquette were supported by millions of everyday objects that portrayed Blacks as intellectually, morally, and culturally inferior “Others.”

Not Confined to the Past All the objects in the JCM are still being sold. All the images are still being used on new objects. The image in the sign is from the 1940s, but the sign was made in the 1990s.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter from Birmingham Jail

Not (only) a Black Thing The fear and hostility that we feel toward others is often reflected in the items we design, buy and sell.

Images matter. There are images that are cemented in our minds. Here are some images that I can neither ignore not forget.
