Happy 84th birthday, Shirley Chisolm

Yesterday was the 84th birthday of the first African-American to be elected to Congress. She's a pretty incredible woman--you can read a brief biography here.

Well Happy B-DAY to Shirley Chisolm! It's amazing how well educated she is and is still part of Congress after so many years. Elected as the first African American women into Congress must have been a great accomplishment and I bet it was also a amazing for her to hear that the U.S. finally elected it's first African American to the presidency. It's sad how long it took for that to happen but it's great that she achieved a lot.
