the first contribution to her
congressional campaign, col
lected by a group (if people on
welfare. Shirley sat down, took
off her glasses and cried a little
bit. Then she said to her hus
band, Conrad, "If I ever had
any doubts, I don’t now."
She still has no doubts about
what she wants to do as she be-
gins her term as the first black
woman in Congress.
“I’m a very outspoken per-
son," she says, "and people s^y
to me: ‘Now, Shirley, you’re in
the limelight and every eye is
focused on you. You be careful
about anything you say.’
"I know this, but I’m not
going to be quiet about issues. I
got into politics because people
brought me in, as the result of
fighting for them on the local
level in volunteer work. Now I
must speak out on the national
level for the people in my com-
munity.”
Shirley Chisholm, a Demo-
crat, is 44 years old and moves
her slim S-foot-4 frame with a
lithe erectness that comes from
dancing all her life.
“I do the limbo, I do every-
thing," she says, swaying and
snapping her fingers. ‘"That’s
why people in the street take to
me: 'You’re so damned regular,
Shirley!’ I’m not a stuffed shirt
even if I do have three de-
grees."
Her degrees: BA, Brooklyn
College, sociology major; MA,
Columbia University, in early
childhood education, and -a
professional diploma in educa-
tion administration. She speaks
fluent Spanish.
The new representative from

former head of the Congress of
Racial Equality — can discuss

sponsored the bill that brought
about a New York State SEEK
program two years ago.
"It’s not that these young peo-
ple are dumber, but1 they're vie
tims of bad ecuation in the ghet-
to and when they’re given reme-
dial work and put in city col-
leges 70 per cent-have a B aver-
age or above," she says.
When she walks around her
district-r-400,000 population
which is 30 per cent white and
70 per cent black and Puerto Ri-
can and includes the black ghet-
to area of Bedford-Stuyvesant—
she says;' "1 get discouraged
when 1 see I’m just one person
and can’t cure the ills of 300
years. But I'm going to fight for
my people, it's a tremendous
challenge and 1 accept it.”
She doesn’t believe there is
place for white or black extrem-
ists. “America is still a multifa-
ceted society and we have
live together.
But there is -a
going on here. If President-elect
Nixon indicates in any way that
he has no intention of furthering
the dreams of black people, we
may have some blood in this
revolution. The blaek people in
this country are not going to be
turned back by anything or any-
body.
Mrs. Chisholm believes she is
representative of “a new breed
of politician emerging on the
scene." She began blazing her
new Chisholm trail years ago
when she became the first black

member—man or woman. 1
