The Vice President Married A Slave?

The Vice President Married A Slave?

Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
With J.D. Vance winning the Vice Presidency you'll probably hear about his wife Usha Vance being the first non-white Second Lady. This is true, but she is NOT the first non-white woman to be married to a Vice President. This is the story of Vice President Richard Johnson -- a legendary hero of the War of 1812 and the ninth Vice President of the United States -- and his wife, a slave named Julia Chinn.
