Shirley Chisholm was an American politician who became the first black woman to be elected to the United States Congress in 1968. Chisholm represented New York's 12th congressional district, a district centered on Bedford–Stuyvesant, for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1972, she became the first black candidate for a major-party nomination for President of the United States, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's nomination. #BlackHistoryMonthSpotlight #BHM #JesseOwens BHM Spotlight brought to you by Amerigroup!
