"America's Mayor: John V. Lindsay and The Reinvention of New York" Exhibition
The Museum of the City of New York
This event has ended.
This exhibition looks at the mayoralty of John Lindsay (1966-1973) within the context of the complex social, cultural, and economic issues facing New Yorkers during one of the city's most turbulent eras. The exhibition explores Mayor Lindsay's ideology, strategy, accomplishments, and challenges, looking at his campaign as a candidate of change; his confrontation with the city's unions; his relationship with inner-city neighborhoods and efforts to maintain calm during racially tense times, such as the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; the fiscal consequences of his budget management and social policies; and his use of urban design and planning as a proactive tool to defend and redefine the value of the city.
