This season we tell the stories of black women, who were forgotten and weren't given a spotlight in our history textbooks. But this season we change that and tell the stories of black women who have made history in the fields of politics, music, literature and fashion. In a series we're calling: The History Of Black Women Breaking the Glass Ceiling!

We kick start this season with the story of Shirley Chisholm. Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman to very win a seat in Congress. Throughout her career, she would experience sexist and racist comments. Even when she had to deal with these comments, she still succeeded and was an extremely effective politician. She was a hardcore progressive. And before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came into the political scene, It was Chisholm who was the talk of the town.
