"America is a wonderful land. It's no question about it. That is why every group from across the waters tries to come to America. I am hopeful. Oh God am I hopeful that before I die that I will see that America will move toward a period of real enlightenment not rhetorical enlightenment, real enlightenment and that when we are finally faced with the choice of exclusion or inclusion we will choose inclusion because that's what America is supposed to be all about."在经历了一系列的中风之后，雪莉·奇泽姆卒于2005年1月1日，时年80岁。
雪莉·奇泽姆热爱她的祖国。她想要为所有美国人谋福利，不仅仅是非洲裔美国人或者是妇女同胞。她为纽约的贝德福特·史蒂文森社区工作，帮助美国社会经历了许多变革。
她说：“毫无疑问，美国是一个神奇的地方，这也是为什么每一个群体漂洋过海来到这里的原因。我希望，我希望在我死之前能看到美国迎来真正的启蒙（不是修辞学上的启蒙，而是真正的启蒙），并且当我们最终面临排斥或者包容的选择时，我们会选择包容，因为这才是美国。”
