conulyReading “The Power Broker” Has Changed My Life
In sending me the link she made two false claims. The first, that Robert Moses is something I enjoy talking about. Wrong, I do not enjoy talking about Robert Moses! I just have a Robert Moses log whenever other people bring him up, it's totally different. (This isn't going on the log. It doesn't count if you do it on purpose.)
Secondly, she stated that this is the first time she's ever seen or heard a reference to Robert Moses that wasn't from me. This is also untrue! We watched the new remake of West Side Story together, and look, here he is on a protest sign! (That also didn't make the list because it's a period piece.)
Interesting trivia: Apparently, Robert Moses's grandparents were first cousins. Also, there is a totally different Robert Moses who was a Civil Rights activist.
