Ángel is soloing on the highest of the three rumba drums, which is called the quinto. He composes his solo by interpreting the solo dancer's steps and gestures on the drum. Traditionally this was understood as a competition between the dancer and the quintero (the quinto player). This screen shot was cropped in order to show Isnavi in the foreground.
This photograph shows a circus cart from Lord John Sanger & Sons that contains a cage with two animals that appear to be hyena or wolves. The cage cart is barely big enough for a man to lie down comfortably , let alone two adult animals to live in.

Announcement of purchase agreement with Phi Kappa Psi regarding Xanadu House. As a result of the deal, Phi Kappa Psi purchased the former Xanadu House while the ICC received Phi Psi's old house on Baldwin Avenue, which eventually became the Black Elk Cooperative House. In addition, the ICC received the capital required to purchase three buildings on Hill Street. Two of those buildings now form the Luther Buchele Cooperative House, while the third was converted into the ICC Ed Center.
This report created by the Rehabilitation and Improvement Committee of the North Central Area documents housing policies that were enforced within the neighborhood during the first year of the committee’s existence. As it seems the report may have been delivered to Ann Arbor’s City Council as an update (see the use of “Council” on page 1), it is important to note both the actions described in the report and how they are conveyed. Buildings are rarely, if ever, mentioned in the context of those residing or working in them, save for those whose residents received marks of compliance from the committee. Rather, homes and businesses are often reduced to structures that are “sub-standard” (page 1) or an “eye sore” (page 2) - a change of language that lenses actions to destroy them or gut them as benevolent and necessary.
