Hiram Rhodes Revels and Blanche K. Bruce were significant figures in American history as the first two African American U.S. Senators. Revels served in the Senate from Mississippi in 1870, becoming the first Black senator in U.S. history. Bruce followed him, serving from 1875 to 1881, and was notable for being the first Black senator to serve a full term. Both played vital roles during the Reconstruction era, advocating for civil rights and representing African American interests in Congress.
