Alexis Wilkinson: First Black Female President of the Harvard Lampoon

MSNBC contributor and MHP substitute Jonathan Capehart, made history yesterday on 'The MHP' show as he interviewed the first black female President of the Harvard Lampoon in 138 years! The Harvard Lampoon's first issue was released in 1876.

Alexis Wilkinson (seen above) wrote for the Lampoon for two years and broke extraordinary barriers, as she referred to the almost century and half year old organization as an "all boys club."

Wilkinson stated that her ultimate career goal would be to write for a film/TV show, or write for her own late night program as she enjoys comedy.

Kudos to Ms. Wilkinson for making progressive history.
