Lawn ornaments are everywhere—but for something so ubiquitous, they're also mysterious. What's the person with the flamingo or the gargoyle in their yard trying to say—and why do they want to say it so publicly?

You'll hear from historian Twigs Way, Sven Berrar of the Zwergstatt Gräfenroda, David Pilgrim of the Jim Crow Museum, Kenneth Goings who is an emeritus professor at the Ohio State University, and art historian Ned Harwood.

SEASON 6, BONUS EPISODERecorded June 6, 2024On this special Podcast, we close out our special Juneteeth show with Dr. David Pilgrim of Ferris State University. He is one of this country's leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism, diversity, and race relations, and is the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Imagery. The museum uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance and promote social justice and has over 20,000 artifacts. It's a difficult topic, but one that is very important to study and learn from. Dr. Pilgrim has personally collected most of the collection and has developed a traveling exhibit so more people can experience it. On this Podcast he talks about the origins of the museum in the early '90s when he donated his collection to the University, and then moving into a larger space in 2012. Today he is also working on a permanent spot to house the collection on Ferris' campus.As for Juneteenth, he said the day represents a "celebration." He said a great historian once said, immediately after Emancipation, Juneteenth is an opportunity to "to celebrate, educate and agitate, and I think that's what it has always meant to me.... It's an opportunity to celebrate freedom. To educate people about the past... To get people's rights, like the right to vote."

It's a different kind of road trip this week, as we learn all about the Juneteenth holiday and talk with a variety of guests about different places around Michigan that hold special significance for African American history and culture. Juneteenth marks the final emancipation of slaves during the Civil War, on June 19 in Galveston Texas. Today, it is a day of celebration and education.We kick off the show with Chris Grier, who shares with us both the history and significance of the Juneteenth holiday. Grier is the historian for Idlewild, located near Baldwin, and known as the "Black Eden of Michigan. He was both born and raised at this special spot, and his grandfather was one of the founding members. We discuss the importance of Idelwild to it's members, and to the community as a whole. We also discuss how a certain movie brought attention to Idelwild's history, but also completely got the location wrong. Idlewild is in Michigan, not Georgia!Then, we meet with Cynthia Jones, who is the Director of Museum Experiences at The Henry Ford in Dearborn. Did you know that the bus that Rosa Parks sat down in and helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement is right here? You can even climb on to experience history firsthand. We talk about why items of cultural significance are so important, and how The Henry Ford has integrated it into their exhibit "With Liberty and Justice for All".Annie Kelly from the Calhoun County Visitors Bureau stops by and we discuss the long history the Underground Railroad had in this part of Michigan. Known as a safe stop for escaped slaves, usually on their journey to Canada and freedom, Calhoun County, which includes Battle Creek, Marshall and Albion, now boasts several tributes to this time in history. We talk about the Underground Railroad memorial that you can experience here, as well as a 12-foot-tall statue of activist Sojourner Truth, who ended up calling Battle Creek her home for the last decades of her life.We close out this special show with Dr. David Pilgrim of Ferris State University. He is one of this country's leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism, diversity, and race relations, and is the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum.

Feb. 5, 2024 ~ Ferris State University's Jim Crow Museum of Racist Imagery is bringing its exhibit to the Wayne County Community College District beginning today! Dr. David Pilgrim, the founder of the museum & Ferris State's Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion, and Strategic Initiatives, talks with Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie about what's featured in the exhibit.
Feb. 5, 2024 ~ Full Show: Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie talk about the 66th Grammy's from Sunday night, the Senate proposed border bill, the jury deliberation beginning in the trial of Jennifer Crumbley, the Wall Street Journal op-ed on Dearborn, the retaliatory attacks from the U.S. in the Middle East, and the Jim Crow Museum from Ferris State University coming to Detroit.
The sound quality will finally improve from next week onwards as the Reversoscope Trilogy, recorded in one marathon session, comes to an end. We tackle the highly problematic Oscar-winning short THE HOUSE I LIVE IN (1945) and wonder what could possibly be so "communist" about it as one Shocking Twist follows another. Then we're learning a LOT about cigarettes in LUCKY STRIKE SALESMAN'S MOVIE 48-A (1948) and are blown away by a transcendentally beautiful Sinatra performance of "Stardust", jarringly embedded in its entirety amongst a tobacco sales pitch. Rabia wraps things up with a reflection on the discussions about racism we've had throughout these episodes.

If you've been here for a while, you've probably heard me say about a million times that race is a completely made up social construct — with no basis in biology — that is used to justify racism. There are SO MANY examples in our society that prove just how made up race is, and this week in Part 2 of our two-part series, we're tackling a few of those myths and exposing them for what they are: big fat lies. In this episode, we are breaking down two phrases that were born out of racism — Uncle Tom and Indian giver — as well as discussing common myths about Islam. In this episode, you'll learn about: The origin of each of these phrases and how their “definitions” are exactly the opposite of reality. Why “Indian” is not a word you should be using if you are not Indigenous. Common myths about Islam and how the word “Islam” itself shows how false the myths are. And don't forget, if you missed Part 1 about the one drop rule and blood quantum, be sure to listen to it on our website or through your favorite podcasting app. Juneteenth Jubilee Juneteenth is coming up next month, and we have an exciting program to help you celebrate!

Dr. David Pilgrim grew up in Mobil Alabama towards the end of the Jim Crow Era. It was there he got his first racist artifact and decades later he is still collecting. He is the founder and Director of the Jim Crow Museum, the nation's largest, publicly accessible collection of racist objects, located at Ferris State University where he serves as Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion. Dr. Pilgrim, an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University, is a Ferris State University Distinguished Teacher. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio, Time magazine, the British Broadcasting Corporation, and dozens of newspapers, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Pilgrim is also the author of Understanding Jim Crow: Using Racist Memorabilia to Teach Tolerance and Promote Social Justice, Watermelons Nooses and Straight Razors, Haste to Rise, and The Klan Unmasked. Pilgrim's countless writings, many found at the Jim Crow Museum website, www.ferris.edu/jimcrow, are used by scholars, students, and civil rights and human rights workers to better understand historical and contemporary expressions of racism. His writings, scholarly and creative, deal with multiculturalism and race relations. His short stories have been published in Calaloo, Obsidian, African American Review, Aim, and Shooting Star. Pilgrim has been invited to deliver public lectures at dozens of institutions throughout the United States and Canada, challenging audiences to think deeply about diversity, inclusion, and race relations. Most recently, he also presented at NCORE - the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education. In 2004, Pilgrim produced, with Clayton Rye, the documentary Jim Crow's Museum to explain his approach to battling racism. The film won several awards including Best Documentary at the 2004 Flint Film Festival. Jim Crow's Museum has shown nationally on PBS affiliates including as part of the series The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross. He also served as a consultant to Will Smith on UPN's All of Us for the episode called "The N Word." Pilgrim and Carrie Weis, a Ferris State colleague, created two traveling exhibitions to take the Jim Crow Museum's lessons to a national audience. Hateful Things is a 39-piece traveling exhibition of objects found in the Jim Crow Museum. The objects are accompanied by didactic panels that place the images in a proper historical context—offering insight into their past and present popularity. Dr. Pilgrim is looking to expand the Jim Crow Museum as they are constantly getting donations of racist artifacts.

Do you own any Mammy salt and pepper shakers? Do you know where they come from? Running now through April 9 at the Pick Museum of Anthropology at Northern Illinois University is an exhibit called Hateful Things. It’s a traveling exhibit by the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, which houses over 9,000 artifacts. Throughout American history, it was not uncommon to see African Americans depicted as sub-human: cookie jars, calendars, games, movies, product icons, and on. Not just sub-human, but unclean, beastly, violent, lascivious, dangerous… or buffoonish, silly, lazy, ignorant, and unrefined. It’s important to recognize that despite negative images of White folks, White representations were generally noble, intelligent, beautiful, and, well, civilized. These choices had devastating consequences in how African Americans are seen and stereotyped. These racist products were pervasive across the country. When we talk about Jim Crow -- the name for the system of legal racial segregation

Now the chalk on the wall says that somebody saves That somebody's face has just been washed off the pavement Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain Miss Macbeth saw her reflection as confetti bled it's colors down the drain (Chorus:) And every day she lives out another love song It's a tearful lament of somebody done wrong But how can you miss what you've never possessed, Miss Macbeth? Well we all should have known when the children paraded They portrayed her in their fairytales, sprinkling Deadly Nightshade And as they tormented her, she rose to the bait Even a scapegoat must have someone to hate And every day she lives out another love song "You're up there enjoying yourself, but I know it's wrong" But how can you miss what you've never possessed, Miss Macbeth? Miss Macbeth Sometimes people are just what they appear to be With no redemption at all We try to walk upright when we can't even crawl Miss Macbeth has a gollywog she chucks under the chin And she whispers to it tenderly, then sticks it on a pin And it might be coincidence, but a boy down the lane That she said "went white as he could do," then doubled over in pain

We’ve got Sam Jackson (she/her) our Marketing Manager and Production Coordinator, and editor Sarah Brown (she/her) on the show fresh off having watched the VP debate and we’ve got your hot HOT takes, takeaways, and wow was this not the burning trash fire the Presidential debate was.
