The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, examines the history of racist imagery, segregation, and race relations in the United States by using demeaning objects as tools to teach tolerance and promote social justice. Named for the blackface caricature that became linked to anti-Black racism and segregation laws, it reveals how stereotypes permeated everyday American culture from the 1870s through the 1960s and beyond. Begun by sociology professor David Pilgrim in the 1970s and donated to the university in 1996, the collection grew to more than 30,000 objects by 2024 and was being prepared for a new building scheduled to open in fall 2026.
