David Dinkins

David Norman Dinkins (* 10. Juli 1927 in Trenton, New Jersey, USA) war der 106. und erste afroamerikanische Bürgermeister in der Geschichte New Yorks.

In der Wahl am 7. November 1989 setzte er sich als demokratischer Kandidat gegen den Republikaner Rudolph Giuliani durch, 1993 konnte Giuliani ihn allerdings schlagen.

Ihm gelang es erstmals in der Stadtgeschichte die ansteigende Kriminalitätsspirale zu stoppen.[1] Er erreichte eine Personalerhöhung im Polizeidienst um fast 25 Prozent.
