Senator Edward W. Brooke, Republican of Massachusetts and the first black politician popularly elected to the United States Senate, way back in 1966.
He worked for the people of Massachusetts, all of them.

I knew full well Tim Scott wasn't the first black senator elected since reconstruction but rather the first black senator from the south elected since reconstruction......which is still a big deal. I apologize for not making that clear in my posts. I shouldn't be so sloppy.
