The Bureaucratic Dance to End NYC Cabaret Law

People dance a final impromptu jitterbug session at the Savoy Ballroom in the Harlem section of New York before the close of the landmark dance hall on Oct. 3, 1958.

Lauren Evans, freelance writer and contributor at The Village Voice and Jezebel, discusses her story about New York City's "racist" and "draconian" cabaret law and the fight to end it and Rafael Espinal, City Council member representing the 37th district, weighs in on how it effects his constituents.
