In the early 20th century, Harlem housed a predominantly Black community, including those who migrated from other parts of the U.S. The Savoy Ballroom made history as one of the first racially integrated public spaces in United States when it opened its doors with a no-discrimination policy in 1926. On this day in 2002, Frankie Manning and Norma Miller, two of members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, unveiled a commemorative plaque where its entrance once stood. Today’s interactive game Doodle celebrates swing dancing and the Savoy Ballroom-an iconic Swing Era dance hall that thrived from the 1920s to 50s in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood. Go behind-the-scenes of today’s Doodle below!
