Blanche Bruce is considered the first elected black senator to serve a full term. At the time Senators were still chosen by the legislatures of each state. The Mississippi state legislature elected Bruce to be a U.S. Senator in 1975. He was of mixed race, the illegitimate son of Polly Bruce, an African-American woman who served as a domestic slave and her master, Pettis Perkinson, a white Virginia planter. His father legally freed Blanche and arranged for an apprenticeship so he could learn a trade. His predecessor in the office was Hiram Rhodes Revels, who was also African-American. Revels was chosen by the Mississippi state legislature to finish out the term of Albert G. Brown, who resigned during the Civil War. As such, he was the first African-American Senator but Revels was born free (not as a slave) and did not serve a full term so he is not the man described in the question above.

In the US every state sends two senators to Washington to represent their state in the Senate for 6 years. The Senate is the Upper House of Congress which deals with the making of new laws. The Senators have to do a lot of talking and meeting people so they know what the people in their state are thinking and then has to argue their case on the floor of the Congress. They have to decide whether to support or argue against proposed new laws.
