Quote to Ponder

"I want history to remember me
not just as the first black woman
to be elected to Congress,
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 dared to be herself."

- Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm
