"Forty-four years ago this week, Shirley Chisholm made history as she announced her candidacy for the White House. Her bid for the top job was short lived, but the symbolism is as powerful today as it was then. She was a pioneer for her generation, a woman of many firsts - the first African American congresswoman. The first African American to run for president. The first woman to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination." - image and quote via @bbcnews #MediaWeLike #glassceiling #HillaryClinton #ShirleyChisholm #MissRepresentation #RepresentationMatters #DemConvention
