The correct answer is:

Barack Obama was the first Black Candidate to Lead a Major Political Party.

At the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Obama prevailed over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, after a historic campaign.

By becoming the first African American presidential candidate for a major party, he broke racial barriers all over the world.
