@ZohranKMamdani Do what no other NYC mayor has ever done. Make FDNY/EMS equal to their counterparts! When a New Yorker calls 9/11 for a heart attack Paramedics Firefighters and NYPD show up Guess who makes more money? You can be the first Mayor to make them equal in Benefits ✌️

This powerful image of salsa icon Héctor Lavoe, captured mid-performance, is by Bronx-born photographer Joe Conzo Jr. (@JoeConzo), who’s been documenting New York’s music scene since the 1970s. From backstage to block parties, Conzo has given voice to the city’s rhythms.

Illnesses linked to the 9/11 terror attack on the WTC have now killed more members of FDNY than were killed on the day of the attack itself. abc7ny.com/post/september… "Those insurmountable losses did not end at the World Trade Center site" - FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker

@DanteRoss I’ll Donte my time and take pictures!!!

@EBBronx @McCarthyufoa Awesome Human Being! Great Lawyer! Helped me out numerous times while VP of FDNY EMS dealing with The puzzle Palace! RIP!!!

@McCarthyufoa What a great gentlemen and friend of firefighters for many years . We lost a great guy. 😢

Mike was a very good man who helped countless number of Fire fighters over the past decades. He will be missed.

I’m convinced Hip Hop has been growing between parallel universes over the last 50 years. This eerie phenomenon where people collectively misremember how integrated New York City was during the 1970s is weird and fascinating at the same time. It’s a fact that our memories are more malleable as time passes, but visual documentation like pictures and video events can remain a steadfast record. For that reason, I’ve develop a stronger appreciation for the individuals who have chronicled our history in the last 1.5 years. Photographers like @JoeConzo, Martha Cooper, and film directors like Charlie Ahearn have played a crucial role in preserving hip-hop history. They deserve to be celebrated and honored just as much as hip-hop’s pioneers, as without documentation in the form of photos and films, the story of hip-hop today would be a self-serving tale of confabulations. #hiphop📸🎥

Rest in peace to my brother Dallas Penn. I can’t believe I’m even posting this.. we lost a real down to earth OG. Thanks so much for everything man. I love you

“I was fortunate to be the kid from the neighborhood walking around with a camera. I was accepted more rapidly than most people were because of my connections.... Even in the Hip Hop scene, it was ‘that’s Joe, he’s the main photographer, don’t worry about it.'” 📸Joe Conzo
