BP Adams Releases Statement On Passing Of Former Mayor David Dinkins

Press release from the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President:

November 24 2020

“New York City has lost a great champion for people of color and a historic leader for a more inclusive city. Mayor Dinkins was not just the first Black mayor; he was not just a symbol. Through his actions on behalf of lower-income people, he was both our effective advocate and confirmation of a long-held hope that our lives mattered to our government. May we all follow in his large footsteps and add our bright stitch to the gorgeous mosaic of New York City that he so loved.”
