Hey,
I was wondering if we could bring video cameras along on the tour, we’re doing a video documentary from our trip from D.C to NY to do a project on the Harlem Renaissance.
Thanks,
Matt
No, unfortunately video taping of tours is not allowed, but we still look forward to having you join us.
Thanks.
