New York’s Second African American Mayor, Eric Adams, Takes Power

Much like the city’s former Mayor, Bill DeBlasio, Adams has to face the city’s biggest challenge: controlling the COVID-19 variant Omicron. New York City has endured 35,400 COVID deaths and 1.63 million infections.

NNPA NEWSWIRE — Adams was sworn in at seven minutes after midnight on January 1, 2022 in Times Square. “A better city is not just about doing something new. It’s about doing something right. It’s not about showmanship. It’s about showing up,” Adams tweeted on his first day as Mayor of America’s largest city.
