Shirley Chisholm at the podium.

Shirley Chisholm was the first Black American to run for president of the United States, campaigning on a platform of inclusivity and equality. While she didn't win that election, she remained a tireless public servant, fighting for her constituents in Congress for two decades. She fought racism and sexism every step of the way, and she did it in a way that could bring the house down. She wasn't known as Fighting Shirley for nothing!
