I hope everyone will exercise their vote today. Who ever you vote for, just go do it! But lets not forget for one second, IN HISTORY IT WAS THE PEOPLE WHO PUSHED THE GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE...NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. (sorry for screaming at you) Anywho, In honor of the election...I present to you, the first African American and Woman to Run for President: Ms. Shirley Chisholm!
• I want history to remember me not just as the first black woman to be
elected to Congress, not as the first black woman to have made a bid for
the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in
the 20th century and dared to be herself. -Shirley Chisholm
