rp @blackhistory: On January 3, 1966—Robert C. Henry became the first African-American mayor of any major U.S. city when he was appointed mayor of Springfield, Ohio. Henry’s achievement is often overlooked because fellow Ohioan, Mayor Carl B. Stokes of Cleveland, was the first elected black mayor of a major U.S. city. He was appointed to a fact-finding commission on Vietnam by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon in 1970. In 1972, Henry ran for a congressional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as the Republican Party nominee but did not get elected.
