Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is . February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure. 

Shirley Chisholm:

Born in Brooklyn in 1924, Chisholm had her background in education. She worked for years as an educator before getting involved in politics. In June of 1968, representing New York, Chisholm became the first black woman elected to congress. She served for seven terms in Congress and even became the first African American woman to run for president in 1972 on the Democratic ticket. Chisholm’s legacy includes founding the Black Caucus and being a champion for women’s rights, Housing, Labor, and Education policy.
