5 nov 1968 - Shirley Chisholm Elected to Congress
Description:
This is important because Ms. Chisholm was the first African-American congresswoman and became the first major-party black candidate to make a bid for the U.S. presidency four years later. Her successful election in Congress influenced the Title X Family Planning Program from her impact on other women, men, government officials, and organizations like N.O.W, to work on implementing more laws that gave women more rights.Ajouté au bande de temps:
