No. That is the exact opposit of what I said.
People who would go to a "Museum of Racism in America" would probably already know a lot about Jim Crow.
To me museums are not about teaching lessons. Instead they are about "making history come alive". The things you learn about in books suddenly become more "real" when you can see an actual artifact from that era, and hopefully that will make history more interesting and fascinating to more people.
