On March 23, Patricia Roberts Harris passed away.

She was the first African American woman named to a U.S. ambassadorship and the first as well to serve in a presidential cabinet.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy appointed her co-chairman of the National Women's Committee for Civil Rights. She worked in Lyndon Johnson's presidential campaign. Soon after his victory, President Johnson appointed her Ambassador to Luxembourg from 1965 to 1967.
