Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005)
Congress is more diverse now than it's ever been. However, when Chisholm was attempting to shatter the glass ceiling, the same couldn't be said. During the racially contentious period in the late '60s, she became the first Black woman elected to Congress.

On a friend's post on FB, someone shared a letter to the Defense Intelligence Agency ordering a pause on various celebrations throughout the year. In response, I intend to work extra hard to honor ALL of those paused celebrations, beginning today with Black History Month.
