and rod has asked me to offer something of an after word to phil's wonderful presentation, to tell you a little bit about menard's unique place in house history in the late 1860s and also put him in context of that generation of african-american pioneers who served in the house shortly after menard's contested election. 143 years ago this february 27th john willis menard broke one of congressional history's long running color barriers. like so many later moments in which other congressional pioneers eclipsed racial barriers, that moment was both triumphal and also circumscribed. menard stood in the chamber of the u.s. house of representatives to make his case unsuccessfully in the end to be seated in the house, and the "new york tribune" reported the galleries were crowded and the house gave him his undivided attention, he being the first negro in the history of the country to whom the privilege was granted of addressing the house of representatives. now, we might be content to relegate menard to a curious historical footnote. after all, there were other earlier curious footnotes in te
