Hateful Things is an exhibit to remember. While most museums fill their spaces
with dated artifacts and long explanations of historical details, Hateful Things
manages to reach visitors on a deeper level. It may shock you, disgust you, and
overwhelm you. Be prepared to leave speechless and with more questions than
when you first arrived. After this exhibit, I was not able to walk down the
street or view a modern advertisement without questioning what I had ever
assumed about race relations. I could tour hundreds of exhibits and read
countless books but I will still never be able to forget this particular
display. By taking the time to visit Hateful Things, you will open your eyes to
view an undercurrent of your world that has been taking form right beneath the
surface of your daily surroundings. Be forewarned: This exhibit may change your
life.
Best wishes,
Crista Anderson
