What would happen if Shirley Chisholm wasn't in our history?
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.

What does vody o doe doe mean to Laverne and Shirley?
First, a little history. "Vo dee oh doe" (spelled many different ways) is actually an expression that goes back to a hit song written in 1926; it was later recorded in 1963 by Jim Kweskin and his Jug Band as "Crazy Words, Crazy Tune," with "vo-doe-dee-oh doe" as a recurring line in the song; it also made an appearance in the 1966 novelty song "Winchester Cathedral." In these songs, it mainly seemed to just be a fun thing to say. But that was not always the case. Historically, some nonsense words were actually euphemisms (a polite way to talk about something that society considered rude or vulgar). Radio in the old days would never play a song that was considered "dirty," so song-writers found clever ways to mention sex without actually saying it. One way was to substitute slang words, or to use nonsense syllables instead of actually talking about sex. Laverne & Shirley are a good example of using nonsense syllables to hide what was really meant. This TV show was supposed to be based on life in the 1950s and early 60s, a very conservative time in America when certain subjects could not be discussed in public and they also would have been banned from radio or TV. So, when Shirley wanted to mention something that was related to sex (even kissing or making out), she felt uncomfortable saying what was on her mind, as many young people did in those days. So to hide her embarrassment, she used the expression "vo dee oh doe."
