As for last week’s question: We know that Russell Wilson is the first African-American quarterback to win and lose in back-to-back Super Bowls. But who was the first African-American politician to win and lose in back-to-back Senate races?
The answer? Carol Moseley Braun. A Democrat from Illinois and the first and only black woman ever elected to the Senate, she won her seat in 1992 and lost it in her bid for a second term in 1998.
