the race for the US presidency is moving forward as per usual and though i haven't been following, a dvd i was watching the other day got me thinking about it. i just happened to be watching Unbought & Unbossed: Chisholm '72 a documentary about Shirley Chisholm 1972 US presidency campaign. Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman in congress and the first black person and first woman to run for president.
