Fwd: PLEASE SIGN: Save the Renaissance Ballroom!

Dear Friend, PLEASE SIGN this important petition. The new owners of the historically important Renaissance Ballroom & Casino in Harlem plan to demolish the building, against the wishes not only of the surrounding community but also of people everywhere who feel that African-American cultural history is priceless. It's not just black history, it's American history.    Petitioning NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio: Halt the Destruction of Harlem's Historic Renaissance Ballroom & Casino! (URL: http://chn.ge/1uCPHP9?recruiter=196710751) Your voice makes a difference. Just this morning, the New York Times published the following article:   In Harlem, Renaissance Theater Is at the Crossroads of Demolition and Preservation Please sign. It only takes a moment. It really matters. (Apologies in advance if you already signed this petition from a request you got via Facebook or Twitter.)
