I)i I ulz read about Dr. M illn e r's
collection ol m em orabilia fro m an
As.xexi.iied Press »ire story last year.
Ho comas led Dr. M illner and the rest
is history. H isto ry that's deeply in-
gi ¿lined in America’s past.
Among die items inspected Friday
»ere Darkie Foolhpaste, Uncle Font
and liv e , and A n A u n t Jemima
bioom I he Darkie Toothpaste, man-
ulaeiured bs a B ritish com pany, is
popular today in parts o f Southeast
A m », Dr Millner said.
S»tme racist items are still being
produced in tins co u n try, loo. The
popularity ol racist Hems in 1985 is an
indication o f tw o things. D i M illner
said "O ne, we haven't gotten beyond
racism in America and tw o, you can
still make money exploiting race rela­
tions in America in 1985."
I he Hems Dr M illner received dale
from about 1850 to 1985, he said.
" I am very excited. The items » ill be
veiy useful in an educational sense.
I lie voung people need to know »hat
d ie country »as capable o f.” Dr. M ill
tier is director o f Portland State U n i­
v e r s it y ’ s Black Studies Department.
Dr Millner plans louse the Hems to
stimulate discussion about America's
racist past. He said, "W hen students
see these items they are shocked: they
show disbelief. But because H's there,
they can touch it and they have lo
believe it . "
Dr M illner w ould like to publicly
display some o f the items but he said
that won’ t be possible until 198'
He said Dr I utz's donation makes
his collection one o f the laigest in the
state He has been collecting racist
m em orabilia tot approxim ately It)
sears I he collection consists ot a ( iv il
War creamer, I ncle Remus, dishes,
lawn sprinklers and everything Irotn
