The Museum of the City of New York and the Shirley

The Museum of the City of New York and the Shirley Chisholm Project at Brooklyn College have partnered to create a museum exhibit commemorating the centennial of the birth of Shirley Chisholm. Chisholm was the first Black congresswoman in 1969, and involved herself in many different areas of politics that helped give a voice to people of color. Chisholm worked actively for change, speaking out for issues that she believed were significant and needed to be focused on such as education, childcare, racial and gender equality, and rights for migrants and workers. -- Kayla Mendez, #lehmanjournalism #bronxjournal
