A pioneering black politician, Hulan Jack was once one of the most powerful municipal officials in the nation. Hulan was #Manhattan borough president at a time when the job still wielded considerable clout, first elected in 1953 — 2 decades before any major city elected its first black mayor. But the beginning of the end for Hulan came in December 1959, when @nypost published an exclusive alleging that a developer seeking a city contract had paid for some renovations to Hulan’s #Harlem apartment, leading to a grand jury investigation. This Carl T. Gossett Jr. photo, which ran on the front page of #nytimes on December 17, 1959, was taken outside City Hall a day earlier, as reporters converged around Hulan for a reaction. He said that he had “no reason to resign or even think of resigning,” and that an investigation would clear his name. But prosecutors went after Hulan with particular vigor, appealing a judge’s dismissal of the charges and taking the case to trial before a jury deadlocked. They then retried him successfully — landing 2 misdemeanor convictions and a suspended sentence, leading to the end of his tenure as borough president.
