Thank you Mrs Shirley... You have inspired this young woman from South Africa.

[@mistery-ed7900]

My first time voting I voted for her. She was the most real candidate we've ever had.

1972 the first black woman to run for President. She want to do what's right for America

[@lowegoddess3062]

I’m just so grateful for her that she started great and finished up great. Some amazing leaders start great and become corrupt in the end. She’s a true example of greatness, true power

I am not a supporter of either capitalist bourgeois parties. However l appreciate and understand the historical symbolism of this brave and determined lady.

Great choice in music

[@JaniceCarter-ws7lu]

*Support* Goodmorning 🦅 💜 Why are so many people afraid of change no matter who they are🤔 She had a lot of support, like they said, but she didn't have support by some black people and that's ok because everything that we do to help others and make a change is all about an impact..Shirley was a strong, intelligent fearless woman who will be remembered for the change that she made and the doors that she has opened right here in America..💙💚 God bless you all🇺🇲

[@mungous1000]

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Fred Armisen?

[@delorme9]

Yes

[@WomenSense1]

[@quantumfineartsandfossils2152]

Yes!

[@dr.debbiewilliams]

Sounds familiar.

[@luanrocha1691]

Charlene Mitchell?

[@derekcash3608]

For the posters stating Shirley Chisholm wasnt the first, read past the title. They clarify... "When Shirley Chisholm announced her intention to run for the US presidency on 25 January 1972, she became the *first major-party African-American candidate* to seek their nomination to run for the country’s highest office."

[@cammyman32]

Based.

[@tonystorcke]

Counting Kamala Harris, the great Shirley Chisolm is STILL the only black woman to launch a serious run.

[@hermanmunster714]

Quivo just introduced Kamala Harris at her Atlanta rally 2024 as first African American woman to run for President? I'm confused?

[@deboradevaugh8006]

Actually it was Charlene Mitchell in 1968 who was the first black woman to run! Shirley Chisholm simply worked to get the democratic nomination.

[@Menyhard]

We have one. In joe Biden 😂

[@evelynmejia6982]

Everything was looking good till this lady started campaigning for Kamala with the story of Shirley.

[@shalawnmayfield1116]

Right!!

[@funnyting808]

that's no woman!!!!!

[@dhritidutta6231]

What's your definition of woman then?

[@sabrinamystified]

You must be from America. They're confused about male/female 😂

[@drakecomegetthiscake]

Was really a man…

[@silentnight9655]

Like your mum.

[@staywinning3299]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 exactly she says it in the video herself

[@blazee3895]

Someone else said the same thing. Do you know if it’s true?

[@jennifera4350]

How stupid! If she was a man, even a black man she would have run as one, it would have been a whole lot easier! It's only the kind of name calling someone jealous or ignorant would say!

[@Choodcel]

That's a man

[@lillianjulius3734]

Is that an epiphany moment bring expressed. How droll!
