This is her posing for a recreation of her swearing in.

In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. In 1972 she became the first Black candidate to run for a major party's nomination for president (and the first woman to run for the Democratic nomination.)

While she struggled to be taken seriously by the Democratic establishment, she had no illusions about her presidential run but said she did it "in spite of hopeless odds... to demonstrate the sheer will and refusal to accept the status quo."

Yeah, her bio is really impressive.

Usually I just go with a silly historical photo but after reading about her, I really wanted to make one with her work.

Not my funniest but certainly one of the more actually historical ones.
