Lenora Fulani
Psychologist Lenora Fulani in 1988 became the first woman and the first African American to appear on the ballot in all 50 states. She ran as an independent and got more votes for president in a U.S. election than any other female presidential candidate before her. Fulani, who has been an advocate for structural political reform such as term limits and same-day voter registration, ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of New York on the New Alliance Party (NAP) ticket in 1982.
