Mayor de Blasio’s Human Rights Commission has been asked to investigate allegations that City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito pressured NYCHA to replace a black development manager in the Bronx with a “Spanish manager.”
Community activist Tony Herbert announced Monday he’d demanded probes from the commission, as well as the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and city Department of Investigation.
“What we don’t need is someone creating dissension between African-Americans and Hispanics in this day and age,” Herbert said.
