Does the museum promote racism?
• It is inevitable that some visitors find the artifacts upsetting. One of the expressions of their discomfort is the accusation that the museum actually promotes racism. This seems to be an example of blaming the messenger. Neither the founder nor the museum facilitators produced any of the racist artifacts. When these objects are displayed in the Jim Crow Museum they are visual aids for academic analysis and discussion. The museum undermines racist beliefs. The museum indicts racists, not their victims.
