David N. Dinkins, who worked to unite a divided city as it battled a high crime rate, died at his home in Manhattan

David N. Dinkins, the first Black mayor of New York City who worked to unite a divided city as it battled a high crime rate, died Monday at his home in Manhattan at 93 years old, according to the city’s police department.

Mr. Dinkins, a Democrat, was elected mayor in 1989 at the end of a municipal scandal that plagued then-Mayor Ed Koch’s third term. He defeated Mr. Koch in a mayoral primary and went on to beat the Republican candidate, then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani.

Remember his advisor Lloyd Braun? Pretty smart guy. Except for the name tag debacle!

Mayor Dinkins was an elegant and humble man who worked to truly unite a divided NYC unlike the current mayor, the incompetent Bill DiBlasio and his cohort, the subhuman miscreant Andrew Cuomo who is hands down America’s worst governor.

I lived in N.Y when Dinkins was mayor, the man literally destroyed N.Y.C, his legacy as mayor can be described as darkest days in N.Y.C history, rampant crime, drugs, homelessness, and thousands lost their lives due to his negligence.

He more importantly known as the worst NYC mayor ever until deBlasio took that title away from him.

Since you emphasize 'First Black Mayor', has there been one since? RIPMayorDinkins

How did they have a black mayor with all the systemic racism? Asking for a friend.

Wonder he was the first black mayor, he was more importantly a terrible one. Great legacy.

He was a nice man. We will never forget 1991 and the riots in NYC.

What a joke WSJ is! He was the worst mayor until deblasio. Crime was rampant.

He might have been a good man, but not a good mayor.

R.I.P. my mayor

ジュリアーニへの脅し記事ですか?

That makes DeBlasio the worst living Mayor.

Lloyd Braun brought me here

Now it’s clear, BilldeBlasio is the worst “living” Mayor ever of NYC

mschlapp “Austere racketeer at helm of crack epidemic, dies” FIFY*

He'd still make a better mayor than de Blasio

2nd worst mayor in NYC history behind DeBlasio

RIP🙏

Worst mayor in NYC history until DeBlasio came along.

Revisionist article. I would have said the worst modern day NYC mayor but DeBlasio is going for that award.

horrible

Thanks to DeBlasio at least we can say that Dinkins wasn’t the worst mayor in NYC history 🤷‍♂️

Great man. Shabbily treated.

The worst mayor besides DeBlasio

He was truly a nice Human Being.

Is that what he was doing in Crowne Heights while it burned?

🙏RIP 🙏

That’s an overly generous assessment.
