Five seminal events occurred in New York City in the pivotal year 1964: the “British Invasion,” the arrival of the Beatles in February; the murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens in March; the World’s Fair that ran in Queens between April and October; the “race riots” in Brooklyn and Harlem in July; and the World Series in the Bronx between the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. Through an exploration of these landmark events—the biggest thing in pop culture since Elvis’s appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, a shocking crime that reportedly went ignored, the last great world’s fair, a key moment in the Civil Rights Movement, and a legendary championship game that marked the end of an era—readers will have a better understanding of the social turbulence in New York City and the United States in the mid–1960s.
