Albert Vann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Vann is a member of the New York City Council from Brooklyn representing the 36th Council District, which includes Bedford-Stuyvesant. He is a Democrat.

Vann was born and raised in the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. As an adult he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he attained the rank of sergeant before being discharged.

Subsequently, he earned a BBA from Toledo University, and Master's degrees from both Yeshiva University, and Long Island University.

He has served in different capacities as a teacher and administrator in New York public schools over the course of his professional career.

Vann served as a member of the New York State Assembly-representing the 56th District-from 1974-2001.

After leaving the Assembly, Vann made a successful bid for the 36th seat on the New York City Council, which he has represented since 2001.

In response to the death of Sean Bell-apparently from the guns of NYPD officers-Albert Vann alleged that his shooting was caused by "institutional racism." [1] He then proceeded to mock the suggestion that African-American New Yorkers living in high-crime neighborhoods should adapt certain behaviors in order to avoid confrontations with police officers.
