Keechant Sewell: The first female New York police chief is African American

NEW YORK – A woman, black, the daughter of a marine and raised in Queens. If New York City Mayor Eric Adams wanted to send out a signal about the revolution he was preparing in the city, it would have been difficult to imagine one more effective than the appointment of Keechant Sewell as head of the Police Department. A challenge that concerns him, the racial issue, the gender issue, and the urgent need to restore order to the Big Apple.
