The Hateful Things exhibit was by far my favorite part
of our trip. The reason being is that it displays the ways in which a group of
people for viewed and judged by another with sources and visual aids. Sure, the
racism that we learn in school covers the Jim Crow laws, segregation, ect. but
what that racism does not cover is the reality of it all. It was not until that
I saw these pictures, artifacts and read the stories that it hit me: these
things actually happened. They are not made up stories to reenact the harsh
treatments back then, they are real. And how real were the emotions and chills
that ran down my spine when I saw some very unforgettable pictures. I believe
that this exhibit is one that one must visit, and more than once is even
better.
