I feel like there should have been one before Black Panther, Luke Cage and Sam Wilson.

If you only care about specifically big 2 masked superhero characters the answer is Falcon / Sam Wilson. Otherwise there's some going back to the 30s.

Black Panther was the first to appear in the mainstream comics, but there were some prior to that. They weren't really represented well, though.

I love that Judgment Day is highlighted prominently in that article. That was a groundbreaking story, and also highlighted the hypocrisy of the Comic Code Authority.
