"Mayor Bob"

When Wayne's blunder started the fire fight, Freedom Mandela hit the deck and tried to astrally project himself back to Douglaston as bodies crashed down around him. The Movement was certainly worth some risk, but Freedom never really meant any of that "Kill Whitey" rhetoric.  He was more inclined towards "Verbally Abuse Whitey," "Over-Charge Whitey," or something to that effect.

When The Movement ended with bitter in-fighting among the Panthers, Freedom made a right turn into politics, eventually heading the City Council. He was simultaneously running the non-profit political action group reach, founded by Wayne before Wayne was forced to flee the country.

Oh, and he was no longer Freedom Mandela. Now he was Bob. Bob Schwartz. 

And, on Christmas Day, 1991, with the sudden resignation of the mayor, Bob Schwartz moved from Brooklyn Borough Hall to Gracie Mansion.
