Leonardo exhibit grapples with a tricky question: What should be done with historical but racially insensitive objects?
Stereotypical depictions of people of color “create biases that exist today,” says executive director of the Utah Black Chamber.
(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Copies of the children s books Little Black Sambo and Beauty and the Beast are displayed March 25 in The Leonardo s exhibit Sorting Out Race, a collection of vintage and antique objects that display stereotypical racial imagery. People may write these objects off as kitsch, but as America scrutinizes its racism, past and present, everything from salt shakers to state flags are becoming increasingly fraught for people of color.

Utah Black History Museum has its grand opening on Feb. 27, 2020 outside the Leonardo Museum.
Black Lives Matter Utah unveiled their Black History Museum Bus in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
About 40 people braved the snowy morning and huddled outside the Leonardo Museum for the grand opening. The repurposed school bus is covered with colorful murals of African American artists, leaders and activists like Ruby Bridges, Jane Mannings James and Wallace Henry Thurman.
The back of the bus includes a list of 115 Black people who were killed by police since 2010. One of those names is Bobby Duckworth, a Utah resident who was experiencing a mental health episode when he was shot and killed by police in 2019.
