This November marks 30 years since David Dinkins was elected New York City's first (and to date only) black mayor. Dinkins joined the show to discuss his 1989 victory, his term as mayor, and more. Then, journalist Tom Robbins joined the show to discuss Dinkins' win, his tenure, his 1993 loss to Rudy Giuliani, and Dinkins' legacy.
