Mayor Bill de Blasio is remembering former Mayor David Dinkins. De Blasio was an aide in the Dinkins Administration.
“I am feeling like a loss and an emptiness because he is gone but I also really feel his guidance still.”
Dinkins served one term after being elected as the city’s first black mayor in 1989.
“and he made things happen for this city that he’s really never gotten the credit for including putting us on the pathway to becoming a much safer city.”
Dinkins passed away at the age of 93 Monday night.
