Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Savoy Ballroom

This bill is a Senate resolution that officially recognizes the 100th anniversary of the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, New York, which opened in 1926. The resolution honors the ballroom's historical significance as an integrated venue that fostered cultural contributions to dance and music, including the popularization of styles like the Lindy Hop. It acknowledges the establishment's legacy through its no-discrimination policy and its influence on notable musicians and dancers, noting that the physical building was demolished in 1959.
