Artists Fight to Save An Upper West Side Church From The Wrecking Ball

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 15

Mark Ruffalo, award-winning actor and activist, and Peg Breen, president of the New York Landmarks Conservancy, discuss the community's effort to save the building from the wrecking ball, and hear from callers about their own connections to the space, which has served as an arts and community center for decades.
