Black-and-white 1972 campaign photo: Shirley Chisholm stands center stage, arms triumphantly raised in double peace signs, smiling confidently through cat-eye glasses and a bold patterned jacket. Behind her, a large “NOW” banner and posters announce “Shirley Chisholm for President RALLY FRI. JAN. 14 at 8 P.M. L.A. Convention Center.”

The indomitable Shirley Chisholm was born #OTD in 1924.

In 1968, Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. She represented NY's 12th Congressional District for 7 terms (1969-1983).

Posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015.

So glad I thought to look up! 💨

Weathered fallen tree,
settled snuggly in the leaves
slowly feeding earth.

An orange pumpkin (with half of a carved face missing) is sitting in a garden by a large rust colored rock.

Night sky with stars twinkling in a dark tree with no leaves.

Evergreen inside a room in front of windows and decorated with colorful ornaments and a tree skirt.

I decorated our inside tree and nature decorated the outside tree! IMO, both are beautiful in their own ways.

The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.

"The Underground Railroad was not so much aimed at 'helping' fugitives escape as it was a movement to learn from & amplify the work fugitives were already doing to free themselves." by Jesse Olsavsky in @hammerandhope.bsky.social
