When Carnegie Hall first opened its doors in 1891, no one could have predicted its incredible success. With talented artists like Duke Ellington and Albert Einstein gracing its stage, the Hall quickly became a place where all people—no matter their skin color, religion, or social status—could come together under one roof to be entertained. People like Isaac Stern. The son of Jewish immigrants who fled war-torn Ukraine for America to escape the Holocaust, Isaac was a talented violinist whose dream of one day performing on Carnegie Hall's legendary stage came true, many times over. So when real estate tycoon Robert Moses set a plan in motion to demolish Carnegie Hall—and many other New York City blocks that housed working class Americans—Isaac knew something had to be done. Desperate to stop the wrecking ball from destroying decades of hopes, dreams, and inclusivity, Isaac protested, raised money, and enlisted the help of people like Eleanor Roosevelt to keep its structure intact. And with an unstoppable fighting spirit, they were determined to save Carnegie Hall for everyone.
