I was a very young girl when I became aware of Shirley Chisholm. I thought her the brightest, bravest, most wonderful woman on earth. My mom would talk about her and it really made an impression on me. I wanted her to be the POTUS.
Shirley Chisholm created a path for me and so many others. She is one of the reasons I am serving the people of California in the U.S. Senate today. #BlackHistoryMonth

One of my favorite now important historical figures. She inspired me to vote for her in the NJ Primary in 1972 and she won! Makes me so happy she inspired you, too, someone I also admire!https://www.thenation.com/article/shirley-chisholm-made-the-democratic-party-of-today-possible/ …

She was a very special lady. I adored her. I wonder if people understand how courageous she was in a time when POC, and especially women, were still best liked when silent?

My mom had me listen to her back in the day. And I will always be thankful for that what Shirley accomplished

I deeply respect Shirley Chisholm, but what about Barbara Jordan? Besides the house judiciary & the '76 keynote speech, she wanted to be Carter's AG & would probably have been the first woman president, but for illness

Chisholm: "If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." Words to live by. (I paraphrase.)
