Abstract or Description

In 2013, the New York Public Library shared a photo on their Facebook page titled, “Harlem Loiterers” taken in 1939 by Photographer, Sid Grossman. Schomburg’s Curator for Digital Collections, Sylviane A. Diouf, suggested a man in the photo, who seemed to be looking straight into the camera, resembled the popular rapper, Jay-Z. This sparked a conspiracy that Jay-Z has the ability to time travel.
