David Dinkins, who was elected New York City’s first black mayor in 1989 and famously referred to the nation’s largest metropolis as a “gorgeous mosaic,” died Monday night, sources told The Post.
The former mayor passed away from natural causes at his Upper East Side home around 9:30 p.m. He was 93 years old.
A home health aide had discovered Dinkins was not breathing and called 911, sources said.
His death comes a little over a month after his wife, Joyce, died at their home. She was 89.
