Three quotes tonight by Shirley Chisholm: In 1968, Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to US Congress. In her prior political career, Chisholm represented New York's 12th district for seven consecutive terms and was formerly an educator.

1) "Tremedous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt."

2) "There is little in the political scheme of things for an independent, creative personality, for a fighter. Anyone who takes that role must pay a price."

3) "In the end, anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: Anti-humanism."
