On this day 50 years ago, Shirley Chisholm became the first woman & African American to run for president—4 years after she became the first Black Congresswoman. My career in public service rests on her contributions. Proud to honor her legacy this year. #ChisholmTrail✌🏿

Your career in public service might just be as important as was Shirley Chisholm's. We need you, that's for sure.

She wasnt the first and shes not African American. African American refers to a distict ethnic group of which you are born into. She was american. She was "black" as in race not ethnicity but she ABSOLUTELY was not African American. Caribean/jamaican but not AA
