I guess, no more than that, it's the Rev Jesse Jackson. & I have just learned my guess is rubbish ! Charlene Mitchell ran in 1968.

Attorney Frank R Beckwith was the first Afro-American nominated by a major National Party (Republican) to run for President. He lost the Republican Party's nomination at their National Convention to Nixon in 1960 and Goldwater in 1964.
