Original Note:
NNN Notes claim that prior black representatives were elected for NY16, but those were before redistricting. The current 16th comprises most of the territory that had previously been the 17th District. There have been no black representatives from the old NY17 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_16th_congressional_district https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_17th_congressional_district https://hgl.harvard.edu/catalog/harvard-tg00nycdc
