A Vision For The Jim Crow Museum Of Racist Memorabilia

The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University is envisioned as an international leader in the anti-racism movement. The museum will serve as a base for quality scholarship addressing the complexities of race relations. The museum will encourage collaborative work with high schools, universities, government agencies, and human rights organizations, including, but not limited to, producing original research, planning and hosting conferences, and conducting anti-racism training sessions.

"I have a goal to create a room that when people come into that room, it changes the way they talk about race."

- Dr. David Pilgrim, Professor of Sociology, Ferris State University; Curator, Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia.

People collect historical memorabilia for many different reasons and therefore have many different views.

1. Some people collect historical memorabilia because they hold sentimental value. For example, I own a ceramic parrot that had been given to me by my grandparents, a cupboard from my other grandparents and a very old doll that had been given to me by my great aunt.

2. My in-laws once owned an antique business which they set up for sales and auctions. Their basement was always filled with a treasure trove of fascinating and interesting items. They could tell you the worth of any item in the basement. They loved restoring old pieces, not so much so that they could sell it for more but simply because they gained satisfaction from doing so.

3. My son enjoys historical memorabilia games and old books and even collects them. One of his favorite antiques are the tiddly winks games which he has collected from all over the world.

4. Antique lovers enjoy the chase more than anything. They enjoy searching through stores and antique shops all over the country searching for that specific or unusual item they been looking for.

5. Some people look for historical memorabilia as simply a hobby but they very seldom buy anything. They simply enjoy looking at what different areas of the country have the offer. It can be a lot of fun searching through antique stores.

6. Sometimes people who want to furnish their home look for historical memorabilia. Antiques of different time periods will often work well together to create a beautiful home.

7. There are other people who deal in the buying and selling of historical memorabilia. They are hard-core, know the value of pretty much everything, and always want to buy low and sell high. These folks typically are only interested in the price itself.

Collecting historical memorabilia can be a wonderful experience and provide enjoyment for people of all ages.
