HATEFUL THINGS

The next stop on my Sunday outing was a disturbing exhibit, "hateful things". This was a traveling exhibit that included racist memorabilia, pictures and artifacts from the "jim crow" era.
"The disturbing objects in "Hateful Things" have been lifted from their original
purposes to now serve as powerful reminders of America's racist past. But
more importantly, the exhibition gives viewers new eyes with which to see
present-day images of racial stereotyping that might otherwise pass
unchallenged." (from university flyer)
You can view some of the objects here http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/traveling/
These pictures are not captioned. The signs that accompanied the objects in the exhibit were helpful in giving the items perspective. The signs also offered recommendations for further information.
As I said this exhibit was disturbing and difficult to view. Luckily my next stop made me feel better and gave me hope for the future of the country and the world.
