The traveling exhibition, “Sorting Out Race,” features more than 100 thrift store donation items that have been collected and will be on display through Jan. 7 at the Chandler Museum.

“These objects demonstrate the persistence of racial stereotypes and their relation to racism and bias in American society,” a city release stated.

Thrift stores continually receive a variety of donations, according to the release, and some of them have racial imagery on antique advertising cards, collectible salt-and-pepper shakers, vintage children’s books and mugs with sports team mascots.

A portion of the exhibit is called “Reclaiming Stereotypes,” which provided an opportunity for people of color to remake the social meanings depicted in some of the displayed objects. It also explores the role of antiques and collectibles today.

“Visitors to the exhibition are invited to share their voice and give input on what items they would be reluctant to donate to a thrift store,” the release stated. They also can provide their ideas for a new name and logo for the Washington, D.C. football team and redesign the Kansas state flag.

The exhibit is produced and toured by Kauffman Museum at Bethel College, North Newton, Kan.

The Chandler Museum is at 300 S. Chandler Village Drive. It is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 1-5 p.m. Sunday 1-5 p.m. and closed on Mondays.
