This meant a lot to me and furthered my understanding of my identity as an Black person in North America. Thank you! It’s so important to look at the things that hurt and address them.

An interesting insight into the history of race relations and using memorabilia to treat stereotyping. Would recommend.

I read this book with only a vague overview of the Jim Crow era. It introduced to me the deep propaganda that permeated the country during that time and can still be found to this day in auction houses, dusty basements and resale stores. Very interesting, well researched and informative!
