About Dr. David Pilgrim

Dr. Pilgrim is a public speaker and one of this country’s leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism, diversity, and race relations. He is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum: a 14,000-piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University. The museum uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance and promote social justice.

Dr. Pilgrim is an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University. He is the author of Understanding Jim Crow (PM Press, 2015), and Watermelons, Nooses, and Straight Razors (PM Press, 2017), and Haste to Rise (with Franklin Hughes, 2020). His other writings appear on the museum’s web site (click HERE to visit.) He has delivered lectures at many institutions. Dr. Pilgrim has spent his adult life using objects of intolerance to teach about race, race relations, and racism. It works. His goal is to get people talking about diversity and race relations in meaningful ways—and, then, to go and do something positive.
