(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Pinckney Pinchback

Pinckney Pinchback was the first black governor of a U.S. state (Louisiana). Actually, he was the first non-white governor. He took office on this day in 1872, after the incumbent governor, Henry Clay Warmoth, was forced to step aside because of impeachment charges. After the charges on Warmoth were dropped, Pinchback stepped aside on January 13, 1873 (35 days).
