From 10, 2021
A record number of Black women are expected to run in 2022
No Black woman has ever been elected governor, and no Black women currently serve in the U.S. Senate. But some candidates are hoping to change that.

Melanie Campbell of the Black Women's Roundtable
'People ought to get used to seeing us':
More Black women are running for office, inspired in part by Vice President Kamala Harris, the Black social justice movement and the lack of diverse representation in politics. To win, many are participating in training programs designed to help them overcome sexism and racism.
Melanie Campbell of the Black Women's Roundtable thinks it is time for this voting bloc to get the respect it deserves.
