The Intrepid Museum mourns the passing of former NYC Mayor David N. Dinkins. A true trailblazer, Dinkins became NYC’s first Black mayor and served the city with grace, dignity and compassion. Mayor Dinkins was a great friend to the Museum, partaking in numerous important occasions including a memorial for his great friend Tuskegee Airman Roscoe Brown, addressing NYC students as part of a program encouraging them to speak out against social injustices, and supporting the ship when it temporarily left Manhattan for restoration. We offer our sincere condolences to his family.
