“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 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. April 16, 1963 US civil rights leader and clergyman (1929 - 1968)

Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Ferris State University Us Versus Them: A Critique of Divisiveness in Popular Culture 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.

We are a learning lab—using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance We are a learning lab—using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. See, www.ferris.edu/jimcrow.

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

What do you see in this picture? What do you see that makes you say that? What more can we find?

Racial Propaganda During the Jim Crow Era (1870s through mid-1960s) racial attitudes, values, norms, laws, and etiquette were supported by millions of everyday objects that portrayed blacks as intellectually, morally, and culturally inferior “Others.”

Everyday Objects Reflected and Shaped Ideas About African Americans

A racial hierarchy was supported by objects that mocked and belittled African Americans.

The Other As Threat

Who Knew? 30 Rock star and former Saturday Night Live alum Tracy Morgan’s June 3, 2011 comedy performance turned into a hurtful rant in Nashville, Tennessee. Morgan attacked President Obama for supporting the LGBT community, called homosexuality a choice, and threatened to stab his own son to death if he confessed that he was gay.

Hate is, and always has been, a primary organizing force.

That African Is Not One of Us

There is a cultural war going on in America, and during times of war, Us-versus-Them thinking becomes normative, even respectable.

Images matter. There are images that are cemented in our minds Images matter. There are images that are cemented in our minds. Here are some images that I can neither ignore nor forget.

“This country would be better without racist imagery “This country would be better without racist imagery. Ironically, the best way to combat these images and the messages they convey is to examine the images as examples of democracy and social justice gone wrong.” ~David Pilgrim
