\nPaul Rever
e Williams’s inspirational story has fascinated historians for the simple
fact that his journey was so improbable. The orphan son of an African Amer
ican fruit-and-vegetable merchant\, he was repeatedly told he had no chanc
e of ever realizing his childhood dream of becoming an architect. And yet\
, he ignored the naysayers to reach the pinnacle of his chosen profession\
, while overcoming widespread discrimination throughout early- to mid-twen
tieth century America. The odds against him succeeding were enormous.

\nA mode st but determined young dancer from Glen Rock\, New Jersey\, Rosemary Nove llino joined the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company\, the classical danc e counterpart to the world-famous Rockettes\, in 1966. After a shaky begin ning\, she danced with the group for twelve years\, eventually becoming it s Dance Captain and Assistant to the legendary choreographer Peter Gennaro . In the mid-1970s\, questionable behind-the-scenes changes in Music Hall management alarmed hundreds of employees\, but no one was prepared for the official announcement in early 1978\, that Radio City Music Hall was slat ed to close that April and be demolished.
\nDrawing upon formerly un tapped inner strengths\, Rosemary refused to let this happen. She became P resident of “ The Showpeople’s Committee to Save Radio City Music Hall” and motivate d fellow workers\, friends\, thousands of Radio City fans around the world \, New York and national media\, cultural leaders and politicians to suppo rt the cause. As a result of these efforts\, the Art Deco palace was decla red a National Historic Landmark. saving not only the building but the job s and livelihoods of thousands of Music Hall employees on stage and behind the scenes who have entertained millions to this day. This “heartfelt and very personal account of that effort\,” says Booklist\, “provides a backs tage glimpse of the drama that ensued and features a cast of characters th at includes performers\, politicians\, the media\, and some very heavy hit ters in the world of New York real estate that will delight readers intere sted in the performing arts and their history in the U.S.”
