Bailey Thomson's Roots Photo

Scope and content:

Roots- This photo was taken in Richmond, Virginia for the Jamestown 400 anniversary. The Roots played for free and made a lot of political statements about the irony of them performing for the 400th anniversary of slavery in the Commonwealth. Before hip hop existed as a movement at the College, lots of us found hip hop venues off campus.
