Museum of Racist Memorabilia

By Delores Jones

Kansas City, MO – According to an article in the LA Times, there are people in the US who are offended by the Mexican stamps, but are buying them anyway. Some people, both black and white, say they collect racist images to remind us of this country's racist history. Dr. David Pilgrim is curator of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia in Big Rapids, Michigan. KC Currents host Delores Jones talked with Curator Dr. David Pilgrim.
