Did you know…the first Black woman ran for president in 1972 and was almost assassinated 3 times?

Shirley Chisholm has the honor of being the first Black person to do a lot of things. She was the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. She was the first Black woman member of the Congressional Rules Committee. She even was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Women’s Caucus. She was also the first Black woman to run for president.

She garnered 10% of the vote at the Democratic National Convention in 1972, though she failed to win the nomination. She was forced to survive three assassination attempts during this presidential run. Some say it was her bid that laid the groundwork for future presidential bids by women.

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth

She was the GOAT—Unbought & unbossed💜

Jolene (33 R.P.M) - click for .mp3

Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.

Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner.  And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence. 

An already perfect song made transcendental..

WASHINGTON—Explaining that he found the discrepancies “delightful” and “nothing to be embarrassed about,” Emmanuel Macron admitted during a chat with American leaders Tuesday that he was charmed by the little differences between Islamophobia in France and the United States. “In a broad sense, our cultures both share a similar passion for the stigmatization and exclusion of Muslims, but there are definitely a few subtle distinctions,” said the 40-year-old French president, noting that geography, history, and religion have likely all played roles in weaving the rich tapestry of anti-Muslim sentiment unique to each nation. “In France, we’ve probably done a slightly better job of normalizing Islamophobia in our mainstream political discourse—I don’t mean to be rude, because of course, we still both treat them like terrorists. However, our hateful rhetoric tends to flow off the tongue a little easier, whereas Americans tend to be a bit more crass in the way they explicitly despise every member of the faith.” At press time, reports confirmed Macron was observed stifling a giggle as National Security Adviser John Bolton garishly threatened to bomb Iran during hors d’oeuvres.
