New York Tomorrow

The New York State Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in New York in 1965.

1968. New York City is in crisis: student protests, racial unrest, and a nation torn over violence and war. The future is uncertain, so WNYC dares to ask the question: What will this city be like in the future? The result, the hard-hitting series New York Tomorrow, brings city luminaries to the studio to examine aspects of city life (Black power, labor, education) —asking the Big Questions in small doses.
