 WILDER:
An American First
When the
nation’s first elected African-American governor took the oath of
office in 1990, American history came full circle. The newly elected governor
was L. Douglas Wilder, a grandson of slaves. The state that elected him
was Virginia, former home to the capital of the Confederacy. The thrill
of this irony swept across the country as proof to all Americans that
indeed, “we shall overcome.”
