held its ninth annual conference April 19-21 in Washington, D.C. Under the conference theme “Our Mayors Our Cities: The Catalyst for Equitable and Inclusive Growth,” participants talked about the future of leadership, change, and growth in cities across America.
This year’s conference was historic because it, for the first time, brought together Black mayors who are now in control of the four largest cities in the United States — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.
Mayors Bass, Adams, Turner, and Lightfoot are each members of the Democratic Party and each one was elected to manage the governmental services of a non-majority Black city. The mayors attending the African American Mayors Association were also able to visit Vice-President Kamala Harris at the Vice-Presidential residence.
