Shirley Chisholm was an amazing lady and I am sorry more people don't know about her. In 1968, she became the first black woman in the United States to ever serve in congress. And in 1972, she was the first black woman to run for president. And while she did not get the nomination of her party, she created a very important conversation about the role of women in politics. At that time, while a few women had been elected to congress over the years, no woman (black or white) had come close to getting the nomination for president or vice president.
Shirley Chisholm was not afraid to speak her mind; she was a very determined and very outspoken person, and had she lived in our internet era, I'd like to believe her campaign would have attracted more attention. I was one of the volunteers on that campaign, and while I did not expect her to win, it was wonderful to hear someone speaking up about racism, sexism, income inequality, and other issues that mattered to many of us.
