The negative imagery &#8212; found on postcards, license plates, games, souvenirs and costumes &#8212; promoted stereotyping against such groups as Asian-Americans, Hispanics, Jews and poor whites, as well as those who are &#8220;other&#8221; in terms of body type or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<p>The Jim Crow Museum is noted for its extensive collections of racist memorabilia against African Americans and the exhibition includes items demeaning to African-Americans, but that is only a part of the exhibition&#8217;s larger picture. &#8220;I&#8217;m hoping &#8216;<b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">THEM<\/b>&#8216; shows discrimination and stereotyping is not just a black\/white issue &#8212; it&#8217;s more pervasive than that,&#8221; says Dr. Pilgrim.<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrim says, \u201cFor this show, we took our direction from Martin Luther King&#8217;s famous quote, &#8216;Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.\u201d Through 35 separate framed pieces (some with multiple items, such as postcards); &#8220;<b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">THEM<\/b>&#8221; tackles some of the most contentious, cultural hot-button issues: anti-Arab sentiment, Holocaust denial, &#8220;don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell&#8221; and immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pilgrim will speak at a special evening reception for the exhibition on Thursday, January 17 beginning at 5:30 PM that will feature a tasting menu of <i style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Soul Food<\/i> favorites, with the lecture at 7 PM in the Milliken Auditorium of the Dennos Museum Center.
