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

hirley 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.
