The U.S. was about to make history in Hilary Clinton as the first woman President, it will likewise make history in Barack Obama as the first black American President.
Three years ago, Canada has appointed a Governor General, constitutionally the highest post in
the country, as the Queen's representative she alone has the power to dissolve the entire parliament and approves a new election and entitles the members of Parliament including the Prime Minister. The name is Michaelle Jean, she is black and a woman. Below are some photos of
Canada's regal Governor General.

Here's bits of historical background:
Michaëlle Jean, CC CMM COM CD [mi.ka.ɛl ʒɑ̃], (born September 6, 1957, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is the current Governor General of Canada. Jean was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II, on the recommendation of Prime Minister Paul Martin, to succeed Adrienne Clarkson and become the 27th governor general of Canada since Confederation in 1867. Prior to this, Jean was a journalist and broadcaster on Radio-Canada and the CBC.
As the current Governor General of Canada, she is entitled to be styled Her Excellency while in office, and The Right Honourable for life; given current practice, she will be sworn to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada after her term as the Queen's representative has ended.
An official announcement about the appointment was made on August 4, 2005. Her investiture took place on September 27.
