Thanks so much to @eatsleepdraw for sharing our Tiki Papier tribute to Shirley Chisholm. 

Shirley Chisholm: 1st Black Woman elected to Congress. She served from 1968-1982. She opposed the draft in Vietnam and championed women, children, and the poor. In 1971, she was instrumental in passing the Comprehensive Child Development Bill which was to provide a national daycare system designed to allow parents of young children to work. The bill was vetoed by President Nixon on the grounds that it “would undermine the family.”

In 1972 she ran for president as the first black major-party candidate. Her slogan: Unbought and Unbossed.
