Despite this Jet magazine prediction that Yvonne Brathwaite Burke of California would be the first black woman in Congress, it did not come to pass. However she was among the black women pioneers. She represented her Los Angeles district from 1973–1978, and was the first black woman assigned to the Appropriations Committee in 1975.
