Manage episode 455117993 series 2542930
In 1965, New York City was teetering on the edge of an uncertain future, but a Republican congressman from the Upper East Side was determined to save it. Fighting traditional power brokers and machine politicians, John Lindsay improbably was elected mayor that year; his eight years in office became one of the most tumultuous and transformative times in New York’s recent history.
In part one of a three-part podcast series by Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis explores John Lindsay’s turbulent New York, focusing on his early years in Congress and building up to being elected mayor in a dramatic three-way race in November of 1965.
