#OnThisDay, Jeannette Rankin (one of my heroes) was sworn in as the first woman elected to Congress. Here's what she said in 1916: "I may be the first woman member of Congress.... but I won’t be the last.”pic.twitter.com/2QwiQ0L535

A republican from Montana. Hiram Revels was the first black person elected to Congress. Note he, too was a republican & he was born free 34 years before the Civil War @ Fayetteville, NC. {I'm not a republican, for the record.}

Congratulations to her historic achievement. However I hesitate to give her words prophetic recognition. Of course others would follow in time.
