Title

"What They Wont Do For Money" Image From Slave Sale at GMU

Description

This is an image of white students at GMU in the 1960's participating in a 'slave stale' clearly mocking the past that black people used to live just years before this. There are misleading signs on the three students intended to taunt slavery as the female student chains them up with a smile, clearly taunting the tragedies and emotional significance of slavery. This clearly conveys the sick extents that were taken to mock black people and what they have overcame, at the expense of money.
