Why We Must Preserve Racist Artifacts
Confronting the Past to Change the Future
- WARNING: This book contains historically accurate yet extremely graphic and offensive imagery, language, and content. The materials presented depict deeply racist stereotypes, violent caricatures, and dehumanizing portrayals that were mass-produced for entertainment and profit. Viewers discretion is strongly advised.
- Despite the disturbing nature of this content, it is crucial to preserve these materials for education, research, and historical accountability. This book series will expose the many different areas where racism was embedded into everyday life-through toys, games, advertisement, household items, and popular culture-revealing how these dehumanizing portrayals shaped public perception and reinforced systemic oppression.
- By documenting these artifacts, we confront a past that many would rather ignore. Understanding this history is essential in recognizing how racism was marketed and normalized, ensuring that future generations learn from these injustices rather than repeating them.

Unlocking the Chains: The Power of Black History
- Black history is more than a reflection of the past-it is the key to our liberation. For centuries, we have been conditioned to forget, miseducated to misunderstand, and discouraged from seeking the truth. The remnants of slavery did not just shackle our ancestors' bodies; they shackled our minds, embedding a system of control that lingers today. But knowledge is power, and it is through education that we break these psychological chains.
- To reclaim our history, we must actively seek the truths that have been hidden, distorted, and erase. We must study old historical information, confront uncomfortable realities, and challenge the fear that keeps us from embracing our true identity. Ignorance is the greatest barrier to freedom-because you cannot teach what you do not know. Without a deep understanding of our history, we limit our ability to dismantle the illusions that have kept us trapped in a false sense of inclusion.
- This museum series stands as a testament to our resilience, our contributions, and our truth. The more we educate ourselves, the more power we reclaim. The more we challenge the narratives forced upon us, the freer we become. Black history is not just a lesson- it is a movement, a revolution, and a pathway to true liberation. The journey begins here. Are you ready to break the chains?
Why We Must Preserve Racist Artifacts
Confronting the Past to Change the Future
Erasing history does not erase its impact. The racist toys, games, images and Jim Crow artifacts of the past were not just products of their time-they were weapons of indoctrination, shaping beliefs, reinforcing white supremacy, and dehumanizing Black people for generations. These objects are painful, grotesque, and offensive- but they must never be forgotten. Every racist object represents the true underbelly of a society that hides it shame. They are not just relics of a distant past; they are evidence of a system that thrived on dehumanization, marketing hate as entertainment and passing down bigotry as tradition. Preserving these artifacts is not about nostalgia-it is about confrontation. It is about forcing society to acknowledge the depth of its cruelty and the insidious ways racism was mass-produced, normalized, and ingrained in everyday life.

HISTORY IS TIMELESS AND PERMANENT
To destroy these objects is to give society an escape from its own accountability. Education demands evidence. Without these artifacts, history can be rewritten, whitewashed, and dismissed. Without these images, there is no proof of how deeply racism was woven into American life. Without these objects, we risk allowing ignorance to flourish and allowing the same cycles of prejudice to repeat.
That is why my book series exists- to preserve in a way that ensures it is never forgotten. It allows you to personally own a part of history, to hold in your hands the undeniable proof of racism's reach, and to build a collection that serves as a permanent reminder of the truth. These artifacts are more than objects: they are lessons, warnings, and testaments to the past that must be studied, remembered, and confronted.
History starts at home. The lessons of the past are not just found in textbooks or museums; they live in the objects passed down through families, in the stories told at kitchen tables, in the remnants of what society once accepted as normal. Facing this history is not comfortable-but it is necessary. Because only by confronting the truth can we ever hope to dismantle it legacy.
