Terrance Carroll, House speaker and Peter C. Groff, Senate president, are Legislature’s only black members.
The two Coloradans are about to make history as the first blacks to preside over both houses of a state legislature in the same session.
It’s a historic first in American politics, albeit one that’s been largely overshadowed by the election of the first black man to the presidency. Mr. Groff, who served as Barack Obama’s state campaign co-chairman, hinted that he may be getting a little tired of the president-elect’s limelight-hogging ways.
