Carol Mosely-Braun is an honorary member. it was those "firsts" that qualified her to become one. So that to me seems a little like cheating for the purpose of this thread.
14th National President Frankie Freeman was the first Black woman to serve on the United States Civil Rights Commission. She was appointed by Lyndon Johnson.
Shirley Chisholm was the first African American to make a bid for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party.
