DESCRIPTION:Understanding Jim Crow, published by PM Press, Oakland, introduces readers 
 to the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, a collection of more than ten 
 thousand contemptible collectibles that are used to engage visitors in 
 intense and intelligent discussions about race, race relations, and racism. 
 The items in the Jim Crow Museum served to dehumanize blacks and 
 legitimized patterns of prejudice, discrimination, and segregation.\n\nMany 
 Americans are already apprehensive discussing race relations, especially in 
 settings where their ideas are challenged. The museum and this book exist 
 to help overcome our collective trepidation and reluctance to talk about 
 race.\n\nFully illustrated, and with context provided by the museum’s 
 founder and director David Pilgrim, Understanding Jim Crow is both a grisly 
 tour through America’s past and an auspicious starting point for racial 
 understanding and healing.\n\n“One of the most important contributions to 
 the study of American history that I have ever experienced.” —Henry 
 Louis Gates Jr., director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African 
 American Research\n\n“This was a horrific time in our history, but it 
 needs to be taught and seen and heard. This is very well done, very well 
 done.” —Malaak Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X and Betty 
 Shabazz\n\nDavid Pilgrim is a professor, orator, and human rights activist. 
 He is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum—a 
 ten-thousand-piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State 
 University, which uses objects of intolerance to teach about race, race 
 relations, and racism.\n
