When I was a little girl there were so few women in public life to look up to. I wondered if I would ever have the courage Shirley Chisholm did, but I thought I would try.
Shirley Chisholm had the guts to oppose the Vietnam War. The guts to run for president in 1972. And she had the guts to speak truth—no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular. Our nation’s leaders could all use a little more of Shirley Chisholm’s grit and grace. #BlackHistoryMonth

My mother introduced us as children to Shirley Chisolm and taught us to embrace, love and respect her as a great woman.

Don't forget Dorothy Height. I'm glad my parents sent me to the first intergraded school in Richmond in 1969 before bussing. I ask young African Americans, raised in Washington DC, if they know who Barbra Jordan is and they don't know. Are they not teaching Black History anymore
