U.S. Mission to the UN @USUN
In 1948, President Harry Truman sent Edward R. Dudley to Liberia as U.S. envoy and minister. He was promoted to ambassador in 1949 upon the elevation of the mission to a full embassy, making him the first African American ambassador in U.S. history. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/m5Y7bWYje9 — PolitiTweet.org
