Who
Pulitzer Prize author Robert A. Caro and CCNY President Vince Boudreau discuss "Robert Moses: Power and the Powerless"
What
The City College of New York’s 2021 Samuel Rudin Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture features Robert A. Caro, the award-winning author and two-time Pulitzer Prize recipient, in a conversation with CCNY President Vincent Boudreau. "Robert Moses: Power and the Powerless" is the title of virtual discussion. A Q&A will follow the talk.
Caro is a pre-eminent authority on Moses, the legendary public official dubbed by the media as the “master builder” of mid-20th century New York City, Long Island, Rockland County and Westchester County. Caro won his first Pulitzer for his best-selling biography “The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.” Dr. Boudreau is the 13th president of City College. A political scientist, he’s a specialist in the politics of social movements, particularly in Southeast Asia.
