Blanche Kelso Bruce?

 

Bruce was appointed by President James Garfield to be the register of the treasury (as such, Bruce was the first African-American to be represented on U.S. currency). Bruce also served as the recorder of deeds for Washington, D.C., and again as the register of the treasury, where he served until his death in 1898.
