Hiram Revels and Blanche K. Bruce were notable African American politicians during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. Revels became the first African American to serve in the U.S. Senate, representing Mississippi from 1870 to 1871. Bruce followed as the second African American senator, serving from 1875 to 1881, and was also the first to serve a full term. Both played significant roles in advancing civil rights and advocating for the interests of African Americans during a transformative period in U.S. history.
