Shirley Chisholm
Miz Chisholm
"Unbought and Unbossed"
Democratic Party
Miz Chisholm wrote a book about her life in 1970 called "Unbought and Unbossed." She refused to be defined by party politics or racial comparisons. Sometimes this worked against her.
In 1972 Shirley Chisholm announced that she would run for president of the United States. Many people thought it was a strange thing to do. Miz Chisholm said during her life in politics she faced more discrimination as a woman than as a black person.
Shirley Chisholm became the first woman and the first black person to carry out a presidential campaign within one of the major parties. When she announced her candidacy for the Democratic Party nomination for president this is what she said: "I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman and I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people."奇泽姆女士写了一本关于她19世纪生活的书:《Unbought and Unbossed》。她拒绝被冠以各种政治团体或者种族对比的标签。有时这些与她格格不入。
1972年雪莉·奇泽姆宣布她将竞选美国总统。许多人觉得这是一件奇怪的事。奇泽姆女士说在她的一生中她作为一名妇女遇到的歧视比作为一个黑人遇到的歧视要多。
雪莉·奇泽姆成为了历史上第一个隶属于主要政党的竞选总统的黑人女性。当她宣布她自己民主党党内总统竞选提名候选人资格时说:“我不是美国黑人群众的代表的候选人,尽管我是个黑人并且我为此感到自豪;我也不是美国妇女运动的候选人,尽管我是一个女人并且我为此感到同样的自豪;我也不是任何政治巨头或者特殊利益集团的候选人。我是所有普通民众的候选人。”
