"Of my two handicaps, being a woman put many more obstacles in my path than being black." --JET Magazine, "Shirley Chisholm Kicks Off Campaign for U.S. Presidency."
“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.” Shirley Chisholm, 1972
