I know! Doesn’t anyone remember Shirley Chisom? I think she was running in 1972 and was a woman and black. Granted she didn’t get far but it isn’t like this is a “historic first”. That nasty little thing called history you know.

Or Victoria Woodhull running for president on the Equal Rights Party ticket... in 1872. The same party that nominated Frederick Douglass as VP candidate. (Sure, he didn't know he had been nominated.) Even so, I bet ol' Victoria could party like no one else.
