Late night thoughts about Savoy Ballroom & social transformations
The Savoy Ballroom wasn’t just a dance hall, it was one of the first places in the U.S. where black and white communities came together on equal footing, judged only by their rhythm and creativity. Imagine walking into a space in the 1930s where segregation outside was the norm, but once you stepped on “The Track,” the only question was: “Can you dance?”
My question is: Can cultural spaces like music venues, clubs, or festivals be more powerful drivers of social change than politics? Does art and expression drive social change more than politics?
