When Shirley Chisholm announced her intention to run for the US presidency on 25 January 1972, she became the first major-party African-American candidate to seek their nomination to run for the country’s highest office. Four years earlier she'd become the first black woman elected to Congress.

I’m just so grateful for her that she started great and finished up great. Some amazing leaders start great and become corrupt in the end. She’s a true example of greatness, true power

*Support* Goodmorning 🦅 💜 Why are so many people afraid of change no matter who they are🤔 She had a lot of support, like they said, but she didn't have support by some black people and that's ok because everything that we do to help others and make a change is all about an impact..Shirley was a strong, intelligent fearless woman who will be remembered for the change that she made and the doors that she has opened right here in America..💙💚 God bless you all🇺🇲

For the posters stating Shirley Chisholm wasnt the first, read past the title. They clarify... "When Shirley Chisholm announced her intention to run for the US presidency on 25 January 1972, she became the *first major-party African-American candidate* to seek their nomination to run for the country’s highest office."

@deboradevaugh8006 Год назад

Actually it was Charlene Mitchell in 1968 who was the first black woman to run! Shirley Chisholm simply worked to get the democratic nomination.

@jennifera4350 2 месяца назад

How stupid! If she was a man, even a black man she would have run as one, it would have been a whole lot easier! It's only the kind of name calling someone jealous or ignorant would say!
