The Savoy Ballroom gave inspiration to many artists, the street it was located inspired Langston Hughes to create this melancholic poem. The Savoy was extremely progressive for its time period and gave an idyllic escape from the harsh realities of its clienteles daily lives. Outside of the Savoy's doors a segregated society remained but indoors and idea of a society, fully integrated began to emerge. |
