@hobsoncitynetwork: Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress, the first woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, and first Black person, man or woman, to launch a bid for a major party presidential ticket. Despite her drive and accomplishments, she faced discrimination on two fronts. Making it an uphill battle to be taken seriously as a candidate. She addressed those issues in the film featured, “Face the Nation" in the fall of 1971. #BlackHistory #archives #shirleychisolm #blackradicaltradition #History
