Mayor Sharon Pratt Dixon Kelly (First Black Woman to serve as a Mayor of a Major American City), Dr. Ralph J. Bunche (First Black to win the Nobel Prize and First Black desk officer at the State Department), General Colin Powell (First Black Four Star General, First Black Secretary of State, and the First Black to Chair the Joint Chiefs of Staff), Edward William Brooke III (First Black Man Popularly Elected to the Senate), Carol Moseley Braun (First Black Woman elected to the United States Senate), and Susan Rice (First Black woman to represent the United States at the United Nations).

This art print is a powerful historical poster for any person of African descent or other minority that aspires to be a politician and should hang in the office of every sitting African-American politician as a tribute to those that paved the way.
