Shirley Chisholm
As widely known, in January of 1972, Representative Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) announced a run for the White House becoming the first woman and first African American to run for a major political party’s presidential ticket.
In her announcement, 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’m equally proud of that. I am not the candidate or any political bosses or fat cats or special interests. I am the candidate of the people of America.”
With slogan “unbought and unbossed”, she didn’t win the nomination so she went on to serve in Congress for many years before she passed away in 2005.
