shelbyknox: On this date - November 5th - in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman ever to be elected to the United States Congress. Her words still ring true today: “At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.” Thank you, Ms. Chisholm, for leading the way!
