What would have happened if protesters had not been successful and Robert Moses was able to build the Lower Manhattan Expressway (LOMEX) through downtown Manhattan? We revisit that fate-filled moment of New York City’s past to glean the issues that are still with us in today’s battles over displacement, loss, and change. In the Shadow of the Highway: Robert Moses’ Expressway and the Battle for Downtown will be on view May 9-15, 2016 at 103 Allen Street. Viewing hours are Monday-Thursday, 11AM-6PM and Friday-Sunday, 12PM-9PM. Two companion tours are also planned for the week.
