I'm going to leave this here in hopes I'll remember if it comes up again:
Henry Louis Gates on his collection of racist memorabilia (http://www.theroot.com/views/should-blacks-collect-racist-memorabilia) and why he feels it's important to preserve the past. There's also a lot about how this imagery basically increased in the Jim Crow era.
