NOTE:
Janette “Jan” L. Faulkner (1934–2008) was a Bay Area psychiatric social worker, professor at UCSF, and lifelong activist who devoted herself to collecting and exhibiting racist caricatures and memorabilia as a tool of critical education and reflection . Beginning in the 1950s as a college student at Lincoln University in Missouri, she began gathering offensive postcards and objects, eventually assembling a powerful collection displayed in exhibitions like Ethnic Notions: Black Images in the White Mind. Over her decades of work, Faulkner positioned herself as the custodian of this painful material—encouraging viewers to confront how these racist images reflect white-prejudice rather than Black experience. Her collection helped lay the groundwork for New Seed Press’s mission of raising critical consciousness through visual and textual storytelling.
