World's Fair 1939

Fishko Files | Apr 10, 2019

Starting in April of 1939, a generation of New Yorkers - as well as visitors from all over - were treated to a spectacular World's Fair. The theme was "The World of Tomorrow," and as Sara Fishko tells us, the futuristic buildings and visionary exhibits held special promise for Depression-era Americans. (Produced in 2009)
