David Dinkins was a politician ahead of his time who never got credit for New York City's many improvements achieved in the 1990s. The former mayor himself and some of his closest friends and collaborators give us a brief recount of his life and work, the struggles and the achievements, his way of doing politics and what lessons can be learned to shape the future of America.
