LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: America s reckoning with racism extends to some seemingly benign places, like an antique mall. Oregon Public Broadcasting s Emily Cureton has this report. And a heads up - her story includes hate speech and a description of a racist threat.
EMILY CURETON, BYLINE: The floor is a creaky maze at this antique store in Redmond, Ore.
Decoy ducks, vintage toys, old leather jackets, a Remington typewriter.
And at first glance, one of the display cases full of knickknacks looks a lot like dozens of others.

Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear is urging pastors in the denomination to refrain from calling Vice President Kamala Harris “Jezebel” due to the racist connotations of the moniker. He is calling on them to honor and pray for her as an elected leader instead.
Greear’s guidance comes in the wake of SBC’s pastors, including SBC Executive Committee member Steve Swofford, referring to the vice president by the term.
“I realize that some pastors are likely unaware of the history of certain racial stereotypes in calling or comparing our Vice President to Jezebel, but that doesn’t make such statements any less unwise,” Greear, who pastors the multi-campus Summit Church in North Carolina, wrote in a Twitter thread Tuesday.

Aunt Jemima on a pancake box, board games, books and other racist items are some of the objects that can be seen in the “Hateful Things” exhibition at NIU’s Pick Museum of Anthropology.
Rachelle Wilson, the curator of the museum, said the organization has a social justice-driven mission and the events that happened over the summer show that racism needs to be talked about in the community.
“These are issues that we re facing every single day, and we should be a part of those conversations and bringing this particular exhibit in is opening the doors for those conversations,” Wilson said. “In a way that is almost a safe space for that dialogue to be happening.”
