My God, what do we want? What does any human being want? Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference.
 - Shirley Chisholm (November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005)
She was a politician, educator, and author. She was the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first major-party Black candidate for President of the United States and the first woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
