I feel like we’re abusing “historical” here.
Is this something of particular note that’s going to be taught to future generations?
Does the African American community know which president was the first to nominate twelve judges of color? Do women know which president was the first to nominate twelve women?
This is a good thing, but like, it’s a good fun fact at best. I think saying it’s “making history” is overstating. It’d be like saying the person who has the Guinness World Record for longest handstand is “making history.”
