The World’s Fair is coming to Queens in the latest episode. What’s in store?
Giancarlo Esposito: Well, the World’s Fair was a great expedition that went on in the ’60s and certainly was an exciting place that many nations could come to. So the representation of it in our show is an important one in regard to what’s going on politically in Washington with Johnson, as well as what’s going on in New York with Adam Clayton Powell, and the movement of Malcolm X, and Bumpy’s movement within trying to recapture his power over Harlem. It certainly represents a tumultuous time, but one that’s really looked at closely through many lenses in this episode.
