Even as a young child growing up in the 1920s, Shirley Chisholm was a leader. At the age of three, older children were already following her lead in their Brooklyn neighborhood. As a student at Brooklyn College, Shirley could outtalk anyone who opposed her on the debate team. After graduating, she used her voice and leadership to fight for educational change. In community groups, she stood up for the rights of women and minorities. Her small stature and fiery determination often took people by surprise. But they listened. In 1964, Shirley took her voice and leadership to politics, becoming the first Black woman elected to the New York State Assembly, and in 1968, the first Black woman elected to Congress. Then in 1972, she became the first Black woman to seek the presidency of the United States. She pushed for laws that helped women, children, students, poor people, farm workers, Native people, and others who were often ignored. She fought for healthcare. She spoke up for military veterans. She spoke out against war. Shirley Chisholm, a woman of many firsts, was an unforgettable political trailblazer, a candidate of the people and catalyst of change who opened the door for women in the political arena and for the first Black president of the United States. 521 $a Ages 7-10 $b Lee & Low Books. 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Lee & Low Books. 600 10 $a Chisholm, Shirley, $d 1924-2005 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American legislators $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women legislators $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American teachers $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Teachers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Velasquez, Eric, $e illustrator. 941 $a 14 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015432.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021546.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024336.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022502.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220331010231.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025522.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215014732.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063455.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011049.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20201208011731.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20201202010038.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20201114010933.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20201103010900.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201027010101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B54581A6181911EBAC39F3C45DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
