Crisis and Accomplishment: The Rise and Fall of John Lindsay Part 2 — A Livable City

From the moment he became mayor of New York City in 1966, John Lindsay faced a city in turmoil when subway workers walked off the job and went on strike for 12 days. In many ways, it never got any easier for Lindsay, who ran the city in a time of national upheaval.  In part two of a three-part podcast series by Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis explores John Lindsay’s chaotic first term, in which the mayor tried to continue pushing forward, combating a string of labor disputes while attempting to create a more livable city.
