Black Mayors Leading Nation’s Biggest Cities

Black Mayors are Leading the Nation’s Biggest Cities, for the First time.

When Karen Bass (D) is sworn in as Los Angeles Mayor next month, she’ll be making History in more ways than one.

Not only will she be the first Woman to Lead Los Angeles, California, Bass will complete a rare tetrafecta of sorts: Black Mayors will be running the Nation’s Four Largest Cities.

Bass the former Congresswoman is joining Eric Adams (D) of New York City, Lori Lightfoot (D) of Chicago, Illinois, and Sylvester Turner (D) of Houston, Texas.

“There’s a uniqueness to the opportunity of having Black mayors,” Adams said in an interview last week.

Adams said having more Black Mayors and other Mayors of Color, leading Big Cities affects how Policy is shaped at both the Black Mayors Association, and at the U.S. Conference of Mayors, a Nonpartisan Organization that includes Mayors of Cities with Populations greater than 30,000 Residents.
