On March 31, 1870, Thomas Mundy Peterson became the first African American in the United States to vote under the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution when he cast his ballot in a Perth Amboy, NJ, city charter referendum.

One can imagine him mulling things over, perhaps dicussing it with Daphne, his wife, before making a choice that would make history.
