You are 100% correct! Also, Lowery and Beekman came up from the ranks!69 METS said:The NY Post article yesterday stated that if appointed, this woman would be the first ever African American Fire Commissioner for FDNY. I'm not quite sure why they chose not to mention that Robert O. Lowery was appointed by Mayor Lindsay as the first African American Fire Commissioner in the 1960's and Augustus Beekman was the second when he was appointed in 1978. There have also been many female Deputy Fire Commissioners. The media never lets the truth get in the way of a good story ... especially when they are trying to defame the image of FDNY's Bravest.

Name a commissioner from ANY agency that isn't. They wouldn't be picked otherwise.
