Robert Moses and the 1964 World’s Fair saga in New York
A reminiscence ties Red Hook to Robert Moses and the 1964 1965 World’s Fair plans. It notes the BIE rejection, Moses media alliance, and Michelangelo’s Pieta as crown jewel amid a shifted emphasis to American industry. It also reflects Italian American pride linked to the Pieta and a family surname meaning pity.
