An American Inheritance: The Story of Racist Memorabilia
Wisconsin Black Historical Society/Museum (WBHSM) and America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) have joined together to create An American Inheritance: The Story of Racist Memorabilia in Wisconsin and the U.S. This exhibit highlights some difficult images in the hopes that people of all backgrounds gain a better understanding of the legacy of racist imagery.
