Shirley Chisholm was the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress, serving from 1969 to 1983, where she advocated for women’s rights, minority rights, and social justice. She was also a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Organization for Women. In 1972, Chisholm became the first major party Black candidate for President of the United States, running on a platform of equality and justice. Her trailblazing efforts have inspired generations of activists and politicians.
