Shirley Chisholm: The First Black Woman to Run for President| Her Story Black History Month by Salty Vixen:Shirley Chisholm: The First Black Woman to Run for President – Unbought and Unbossed | Her Story – Black History Month 2026 In this powerful Black History Month episode, we honor Shirley Chisholm—the fierce trailblazer who became the first Black woman to run for U.S. president from a major party in 1972. She walked into Congress as the first Black woman elected (1968), co-founded the Congressional Black Caucus, championed food stamps, WIC, child care, and women's rights, and ran a groundbreaking presidential campaign against impossible odds—all while staying Unbought and Unbossed. This 2026 centennial of Black History Month (the 100-year mark since Carter G. Woodson launched History Week) reminds us: she didn’t wait for a seat at the table—she built her own and left the door wide open. If they don’t give you a seat… bring a folding chair.
