Slave Day Flier

Description

Pictured is a promotional flier for Slave Day. Slave Day was an event held by one of the GMU fraternities that mimicked the slave trade to raise money. The flier states that clubs and individuals that purchase student "slaves" would get a full day of services from them. This was sent out while George Mason University was still under UVA.
