“Slow your roll,” is likely what Bill “Bojangles” Robinson would caution the driver of a vehicle that collided into the statue of the famous Richmond-born actor, dancer and singer.

According to published reports, Mr. Robinson was the most highly paid African-American entertainer in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. Which also may lead him to ask, “Why would anyone run into a rich man?” The incident shown occurred at the intersection of Adams and Leigh streets last month.
