And now, stay tuned for a Blendon Black History moment…
In 1870, Hiram Revels takes the oath of office as the first African American U.S. senator.
Visitors in the Senate galleries burst into applause as senator-elect Hiram Revels, a
Republican from Mississippi, entered the chamber. Those present knew that they were
witnessing an event of great historical significance.
Thanks and have fabulous LONG weekend! See everyone next Tuesday!
