She was one helluva woman is what she was.
Shirley Chisholm had guts. She had guts to oppose the Vietnam War. The guts to run for president in 1972. The guts to speak uncomfortable truths. To ensure her legacy continues to endure and thrive I’ve reintroduced a bill to place a statue of her in our nation’s Capitol.

I was 12 years old when she ran for President. I was heartbroken when she lost. No one has ever spoken as eloquently on behalf of those living in poverty, and she was the first politician I ever heard speaking up for the poor.

Yes. Statues. We need then more than anything. Way better than infrastructure, or god forbid, small business growth. Yes. More statues to replace the ones taken down. That’s how our government prioritizes their constituents wants/needs. In a word, statue.

That would be so cool. I remember her well and always admired her and what she stood and fought for.

You can’t live vicariously through the achievements of better people. No one buys that your values align with those of the likes of Chisholm.
