The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York hosted a Black History Month event in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday.
A highlight of the event included U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch presenting former Mayor David Dinkins with the 2015 Trailblazer Award.
“There was a time in this city of ours when people held the view that not only would we never see a black president, but we would also never see an African-American mayor, and yet 25 years ago, one emerged,” Lynch said at the “A Century of Black Life, History and Culture” event.
