Blanche Bruce (1841–1898) was an American politician and educator who made history as the first African American to serve a full term in the U.S. Senate, representing Mississippi from 1875 to 1881. Born into slavery, he became an influential figure during the Reconstruction era, advocating for civil rights and education for African Americans. After his Senate term, Bruce continued to work in education and public service, ultimately serving as the registrar of the Treasury under President Grover Cleveland. His legacy is notable for its impact on both African American history and U.S. politics.
