Posted by Jeff Rosen on Sat Feb 10 18:45:52 2007, in response to A Transit Robert Moses Guy, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Feb 9 14:16:58 2007. The problem with all the negative myths about Moses is that they all came from one source, The Power Broker by Robert Caro. It was Caro who wrote about the bridges being too low to not allow blacks on buses to the parks and Caro who calls Moses Jewish anti-Semite who denied his Jewish roots. Caro also devotes a whole chapter on how Moses stubbornly uprooted a whole neighborhood to build the X-Bronx Expressway. I read the book a few years ago for the second time, a long 1400 page book and it was obvious Caro had an extreme bias against Robert Moses. In other words all the negative myths can possibly be total B.S. |
