Henry Louis Gates, Jr. may possess a bit of an out-sized ego. Just maybe.
From a New York Times interview with this generation's Rosa Parks:
Q: Have you seen James Crowley, the Cambridge Police sergeant who arrested you, since you sat down with him and the president and reconciled over beers? A: Yes. We had a drink at my favorite pub in Cambridge. We met at the River Gods cafe several months ago, and he gave me the handcuffs.Q: The handcuffs that you are wearing in that disturbing photograph of you held captive on your front porch?
A: Yes.Q: He gave them to you to keep?
A: I donated them to the new National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian. [Emphasis mine]
Why? Because there isn't yet a National Museum of Self-Important, Tenure-Poisoned Ivy-League Race Baiters? Sounds like a shovel-ready project for some stimulus bucks to me.

Ah, that old progressive arrogance.
Well, we all know that there's a market for Queen Victoria's chamber pots; why not Skip's handcuffs?
