Share Your Views of Lindsay Era Preservation Issues
There is a major retrospective now underway on the Mayoralty of John Lindsay (1966-73), including an exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York, a television documentary produced by Thirteen/WNET, a book of essays edited by Sam Roberts, and a series of Symposia.
To broaden the public dialogue, there are two websites where individuals can write reminiscences and register comments about those times. Many Conservancy Board and Members well remember that remarkable and controversial era and the conflicting forces that impacted our City.
Please bring the Lindsay retrospective to the attention of your community and that individual comments on any subject about those years is welcome.
The Museum’s website has broad, rich content on the Lindsay era. Submissions are made in the “Recollection” section.
Click here to view the documentary.
Individuals can submit the same recollection to both websites, and multiple submissions by an individual are welcome.
Of course, many of the most heated issues of those years remain relevant today and are still of concern to the Conservancy. Comments with that kind of historic perspective would also be informative.
