Eric Adams says NYC needs to 'do better' in preserving its historically black neighborhoods

New York City mayor Eric Adams has boldly claimed that residents in the Big Apple need to 'do better' in preserving historically black neighborhoods in the city in his first Juneteenth speech.

The 61-year-old Democrat said that forcing out black residents from historically black neighborhoods in not only New York City, but also throughout other cities in the U.S. is similar to slavery.

'When I was in Ghana last year, I saw how families were displaced, torn apart and brought over to America through slavery in the hulls of the ships, living in dungeons, spending months and months living in their human waste, having their babies taken from them, and saw them dispersed and displaced,' he said in his address on Sunday from Central Park.

'That's no different here,' the mayor added in front of a packed crowd celebrating the new federal holiday.
