In a year in which the United States has elected its first female Vice-President (nice way to mark the 19th Amendment's Centennial, America), the Miami Marlins hired the eminently-qualified and universally well-regarded Kim Ng as their General Manager.

Not to be outdone, Midshipman 1st Class Sydney Barber shall command the Brigade of Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy beginning in the Spring of 2021. Sydney Barber is an African-American woman and shall be the first African-American woman to command the Brigade of Midshipmen.
