What kinds of things did Shirley Chisholm do?

Answer 1

Shirley Chisholm was a pioneering African-American woman. She was an educator who became a state legislator and then the first black woman to be elected to Congress. She played a critical role in the creation of the Special Supplementation for Woman, Infants and Children (WIC) Program. In 1972, she made a failed run for President. However, throughout the rest of her career, she worked tirelessly for inner-city residents and for many liberal causes.
