New York City’s First Black Mayor David Dinkins Dies at 93 Years Old

Rest in Peace David Dinkins.

David N. Dinkins, a barber’s son who became New York City’s first Black mayor on the wings of racial harmony but who was turned out by voters after one term over his handling of racial violence in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, died on Monday night at his home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He was 93.

His death was confirmed by Mayor Bill de Blasio. It came less than two months after Mr. Dinkins’s wife, Joyce, died.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
