Guyanese, Tracey Lewis, is only the second black female to be named FDNY Lieuten

The FDNY has promoted an African-American woman to lieutenant for the first time in more than a decade. Tracy Lewis, of Engine 222 in Bed-Stuy, has become only the second black female in the department’s history to receive the rank. She is among only nine African-American women firefighters currently in the FDNY.
Lewis joined her colleagues at the Christian Cultural Center…
Tracey Lewis is a modern-day American hero and she makes us all proud

There will be others.
