Showcase your love for former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm with our original and feminist AF merch!
In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. And on this day in 1972, she became the first Black candidate for the presidential nominee of a major party — and the first woman to seek the Democratic nomination. Towards the end of her life, Chisholm said of these historic firsts: “I want history to remember me not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.”
