Shirley Chisholm was an American politician and activist. She was the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first woman to seek the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. Some of her famous quotes include:
- "I have never cared too much what people say. What I am interested in is what they do."
- "If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair."
- "When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses."
She also spoke about the obstacles she faced as a Black woman in politics, the importance of fighting domestic issues like poverty and racism, and her motivation to run for president despite the odds.
