In 1868,
Oscar J. Dunn becomes lieutenant governor of Louisiana. It is the highest executive office held by an African American to date.
He was an ex-slave.
Like Janet said in the commercial below for Black History Month (which to me is every month) when she mentions him; 'Now What Can't You Do?'
BLACK HISTORY. PASS IT ON.

About Me
- Daij
- Somewhere in , Wisconsin, United States
- First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
