Karen Bass is the first woman and second Black person to be the mayor of Los Angeles. She will formally assume her duties Monday.
Karen Bass elected as Los Angeles' first Black woman mayor
Bass will be tasked with easing rising crime rates, restoring trust in a City Hall shaken by racism and corruption scandals and addressing the issue of over 40,000 people living in trash-strewn encampments or rusty RVs that have spread into virtually every neighborhood. She also urged residents to become involved in city government, echoing John F. Kennedy’s presidential inaugural address in which he said, “Ask not what your country can do for you –- ask what you can do for your country.”
In a surprise appearance, Stevie Wonder got the crowd dancing, playing “Living for the City.” He and Bass shared a hug.
