State Senator Jeff Klein hosted his annual Black History Month Breakfast at Villa
Barone Manor this past Saturday, honoring local black leaders and featuring a keynote
address from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. Nearly 300 constituents attended
the breakfast.
Senator Klein said "Black History Month provides an
opportunity to not just reflect and recognize the achievements of civil rights
leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, but also the
contributions made by black leaders in their local communities. At my annual
Black History Month breakfast, we do just that - honor the invaluable work of
African-Americans here in the Bronx and across New York, while celebrating the
rich diversity of our local community."
However during his keynote speech Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams mentioned that he would be looking to run for mayor after his 8 years in office are up due to term limits. This could pur the Brooklyn Borough President and our Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. on a collision course if both decide to run for mayor in 8 years. Bronx BP Diaz Jr. has 8 more years to serve as Bronx Borough President, and has expressed desires to be the first Latino mayor of New York City. below are some photos of Senator Klein's Black History Month Breakfast, and the choir singers children and adult.
