The Jim Crow Museum
Taking at face value, those people who say they don't know the history of Jim Crow laws and/or the reason for the establishment of statues/monuments/logos/mascots/Etc., long after the Civil War...here's a way to educate yourself.

Museum Information
The Jim Crow Museum is open and is FREE to the public. The Museum features six exhibit areas -- Who and What is Jim Crow, Jim Crow Violence, Jim Crow and Anti-Black Imagery, Battling Jim Crow Imagery, Attacking Jim Crow Segregation, and Beyond Jim Crow.
The Museum also offers a comprehensive timeline of the African American experience in the United States. The timeline is divided into six sections: Africa Before Slavery, Slavery in America, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights and Post Civil Rights.
The Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University strives to become a leader in social activism and in the discussion of race and race relations. This facility will provide increased opportunities for education and research. Please join us as we embark on this mission.

I would also propose, DO NOT destroy those statues of confederate soldiers/generals/leaders, but instead relocate them off of public property and establish museums like this...to teach our children about how/why racism and bigotry exists.
I would also ask that those who have no desire to educate themselves (or still worship/admire confederate war figures and/or racist logos/mascots/Etc.)...please just pass this thread by.
Thank you.
