Audobon is spelled with an o not a u. Audobon Ballroom stands near Columbia University's teaching hospital at Broadway and 157th Street. It is featured in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan (1985).
Is humanitarian the correct adjective to describe Malcolm X? The word does not appear in the main Malcolm X article, which describes him variously as "a spokesman for the Nation of Islam", "a founder of both the Muslim Mosque, Inc., and the Organization of Afro-American Unity" and "one of the most prominent militant black nationalist leaders born in the United States" as well as a "pan-Africanist". Perhaps "civil rights leader" would be more appropriate?
When was this building demolished? The term, "recently" will go out of favor after a few years or a few months depending on what it was actually demolished.
There only seems to be one image of the building that search engines find, and that image is of the building as it is now configured.
Various articles online say the ballroom was preserved, but they also say the ballroom was on the floor above a vaudeville theater that no longer seems to exist. The image I see seems to show a preserved structure that is not tall enough to contain a theater and a ballroom on top. Can anyone shed some light on just what exactly is left of the Audubon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.94.17 ( talk) 13:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
The Audubon Ballroom seems to be inspiration for other works, at least I've come across two already without actively looking for them, so I will leave them here as a mental note or if anyone else is interested:
