According to biographies of Fiorello La Guardia, NYC’s mayor from 1934-1945, he was a champion of immigrants and the poor. He was also a Republican. Things were different back then. The biographies also portray him as a caring, life-long public servant who read comic strips over the radio during a citywide newspaper strike in 1945. Yet, this statue on La Guardia Place by artist Neal Estern makes him look pretty damn mean, bringing to mind something you might see adorning the streets a Fascist country – strange, considering La Guardia was a vocal opponent of Hitler and Nazism.
