David Pilgrim is a professor at Ferris that runs the Museum of Racist Memorabilia, which I have admired for a long time. The transformative power of seeing that much hateful media in one place is hard to deny. Anyway, he has a book now and a feature article on Salon!

I'm sure you guys will all support his work in a very measured, non ideological way.

The prof is correct. The Jim Crow messages stick around.
The only things that change are the images
