"Hateful Things" art exhibit displayed in Zahnow Library
Ferris State University has compiled a traveling exhibition, "Hateful Things," that is comprised of racist images and artifacts.
The exhibition is based out of Ferris' Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, and will be displaying 39 racist items at SVSU. Most of the items were directly picked out of popular or commercial culture, and the viewing of these items is meant to promote more critical thinking of contemporary American culture and show how racism is allowed to infiltrate it largely unchallenged.
The exhibit will be on the 4th Floor of the Zahnow Library, in the Roberta R. Allen Reading Room from Nov. 13-16 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Nov. 17 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. David Pilgrim, the curator, will be giving a lecture tomorrow at 6 p.m. on the larger context of the images in the exhibit. The exhibit and lecture are both free and open to the public.
