Shirley Chisholm, the first black congresswoman in U.S. history, represented the state of New York in the House of Representatives.
Shirley Chisholm was motivated by a deep commitment to social justice and equality, influenced by her upbringing in a politically active family and her experiences as a Black woman in America. She drew inspiration from civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and her own belief in the importance of representation in politics. Additionally, her experiences as an educator and a member of the New York State Assembly fueled her passion for advocating for marginalized communities. Chisholm's motto, "Unbought and Unbossed," encapsulated her determination to challenge the status quo and fight for the rights of all individuals.
