On this day in 1870, Hiram Revels was sworn in as the first African American to serve in the U.S. Senate. In the 151 years since, only 10 more have ever served, and we only have 3 today. It's past time Congress better reflect the diverse nation it represents. https://t.co/z8JPE31BKC — PolitiTweet.org
