Shirley Chisholm

. Showed people that no matter what your race or gender you can make our dream come true


Quotes:
.Of my two "handicaps" being female put more obstacles in my path than being black.
.My God, what do we want? What does any human being want? Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference.

.My greatest political asset, which professional politicians fear, is my mouth, out of which come all kinds of things one shouldn't always discuss for reasons of political expediency.

This country is ruled by a dictator so citizens don't have that many rights, especially women.

Is it worth trading equality for freedom?

My personal opinion is that freedom is worth much more, unless it doesn't include the freedom \

to make mistakes. Yet our natural instinct is to follow a leader. For example lions, the king of the

jungle have a king. Even humans, in the mammalian family follow leaders like George W. Bush,

or are forced to, like a dictator. Even if we don't want to our we want to people follow leaders.

Having a leaders doesn't necessarily means you don't have freedom. The United States of

America is a country built on freedom, liberty and justice for all; and that capitalism country has

a leader : The President of The United States of America. North Korea is a country sickened by

war, dictatorship and government controlled and even that, Communism country, has a

leader,Kim II-sung. This also depends on your definition of freedom.
