"Chisholm, who was born on Nov. 30, 1924, clearly had no shortage of vision, becoming the first Black woman in Congress and running for the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination."
"Her centennial year has seen the first woman of color at the top of a major party ticket, underscoring the enduring impact of her groundbreaking run in 1972."
"Despite her monumental achievements, Chisholm's legacy has not always received the same recognition as other prominent Black leaders in American history."
"The New York City Council's declaration of Nov. 30 as Shirley Chisholm Day reflects a growing recognition of her contributions and the need for continued inspiration from her life's work."
