US Senate has only had 11 Black senators in its 232-year history

US Senate has only had 11 Black senators in its 232-year history CNN 1/26/2021 © Library of Congress Congress set a new diversity record this year with its highest-ever number of women and racial minorities, including 60 Black lawmakers. People of color have historically had a tougher time getting elected to the Senate. Newly elected Raphael Warnock is only the 11th Black US senator since the Senate convened for the first time in 1789. Only two of those have been women. And with the departure of Kamala Harris, the number of Black female US senators is now at zero. © MPI/Archive Photos/Getty Images Voters in urban congressional districts tend to be more diverse and politically progressive, driving the higher number of minorities in the House.

And so Democrats really can’t win elections without those voting blocs. So what should Joe Biden and Kamala Harris be doing in practical terms to heed the perspectives of Black people and people of color?
