Peacemakers History Resources

Topical Resources

The African American Experience from the American Memory Project of the Library of Congress. Focuses on primary source materials related to Slavery, Abolition, Segregation, The Civil War, Reconstruction, and African Americans in World War II.
Racial Stereotypes from the Jim Crow Museum The images are offensive. The physical museum with over two thousand Jim Crow artifacts is housed at Ferris State University in Michigan. "The museum's holdings are of two types. First, there is the Jim Crow memorabilia -- signs, tickets, brochures, photographs, and books -- that promoted segregation. Second, are caricatured everyday items, for example, Mammy candles, Nellie fishing lures, Picaninny ashtrays, Sambo masks, Coon toys, and Golliwog marbles. The museum demonstrates how racist ideas and anti-Black images dominated American culture. It also shows how these images and ideas have resurfaced in recent years."
