Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia

The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, located at Ferris State University in Michigan, is a museum dedicated to exploring and educating about the history of racism in the United States. It displays offensive artifacts, such as blackface souvenirs and segregated memorabilia, to illustrate the harmful stereotypes and discrimination from the Jim Crow era. The goal is to provoke reflection, promote understanding, and examine how such hate objects have been used to justify racial inequality, fostering awareness and dialogue about racism’s legacy.
