Be a Catalyst for Change: Shirley Chisholm’s Lifelong Legacy

On January 25, 1972 Shirley Chisholm made the historic announcement of her presidency. She was the first African American and the first woman to mount a serious campaign for the Democratic Party nomination for President of the US. In celebration, The Shirley Chisholm Project will be hosting a 40th anniversary conference on March 29, 2012.
