Values of the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University Values Values are principles embodying ideas about what is right and wrong, desirable and undesirable. Values undergird basic belief systems and guide actions. Curator David Pilgrim speaks to a group of Ferris State University students at the Jim Crow Museum for Racist Memorabilia.
Racism is wrong.
We oppose all forms of racism. The Jim Crow Museum's emphasis on anti-Black racial artifacts should not be seen as a lack of concern about other expressions of group oppression. We believe that prejudice and discrimination directed toward any group is wrong and must be opposed. The fight against racism requires pro-active work. Some people claim that race relations are worsened by discussing them.
