America’s first black governor was P.B.S. Pinchback - governor of Louisiana in 1872. But since he was a Republican, he doesn’t count.
I am sick of this political correctness BS! What does a great, great grandson of slaves know about slavery? My late parents met and got married in a WWII concentration camps and I talked to my mom for years about her experience yet I know NOTHING about being a concentration camp survivor.
As if being a 5th or 6th generation removed from anything makes anyone an expert.
