Those Who Fought Before Us

Before Harris, Clinton, Palin and Ferraro, there was
Chisholm for President!
Shirley Chisholm was elected the first Black female member of the U.S. Congress (1968) and served seven terms. She was also the first African American and first woman to run as a major party candidate (Democrat, 1972) for President of the United States.
Chisholm was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated from Brooklyn College in 1946 where she was a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. A champion of education opportunity and social justice, Chisholm is known for her slogan, "Unbought and Unbossed." She was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and an early member of the National Organization of Women (NOW).
Shirley Chisholm is represented in the Mareyjoyce Green Women's Center in three places.
The first person to email us at womenscenter@csuohio.edu and tell us how/where she is represented in MGWC will win a 3-pack of laptop stickers featuring Shirley Chisholm, Audre Lorde & Angela Davis.

She even ran for her husband's city council seat in Cleveland after he was imprisoned.
