    I feel like “making history” implies that they did something that’s gonna make it into the history books and be taught to future generations.

    And like, maybe strictly, but like, which president appointed the twelfth black judge during their term? The twelfth female judge?

    The first of anything, yeah, that’s in the history books. Everything past that, maybe a footnote.

    A good thing for sure, but “making history”? The language feels strong to me.
