Canada names new Govenor General, she will be the first black in post.

Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 03:07 PM by Swede

Michaelle Jean, 48, was born in Haiti and moved to Quebec in 1968 with her family at the age of 11. She will become Canada's first black governor-general and only the third woman to host the post. She will also be one of the youngest governors general.
