New Dennos exhibit explores inequality, discrimination

In remembrance of Martin Luther King Jt. Day, the Dennos Museum has a new exhibit detailing the history and culture of inequality, racial and other discrimination in the U.S.  

Excerpt: The exhibition, “THEM: Images of Separation,” comes to Traverse City from the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University and runs through March 3. It showcases pop culture items – from postcards and license plates to games and souvenirs – with images promoting hate and perpetuating stereotypes against groups including Asian Americans, Hispanics, Jews and poor whites, as well as those who are “other” in terms of body type or sexual orientation.
