EUNITED STATES ACHIEVEMENT ACADEMY? 2 HALL GF FAM is SHIRLEY CHISHOLM Former U.S. Congresswoman An articulate, straightforward champion of the down- trodden, she derives her power from 'the people'. That is Shirley Chisholm, the senior Democratic woman in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is the only Black American- and the only woman-to sit on the powerful House Rules Committee. A member of the Congressional Black Caucus, she is also the secretary of the House Democratic Caucus. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, Ms. Chisholm's first years were spent on the island of Barbados in the West Indies. She credits a stable, strict family life and an educa- tional environment demanding excellence for her early achievements. After earning a B.A. Ccum laudej and M.A. in Education and a diploma in Administration from Columbia University, Ms. Chisholm was a school teacher and day nursery director before running successfully for the New York State Assem- bly. She was elected to the 91st Congress in 1968, her consti- tuency being the 12th Congressional District in the borough of Brooklyn, New York. Blacks and Puerto Ricans comprise more than 7096 of the population, the rest being Jewish, Polish, Ukranian and Italian. Thus Ms. Chisholm, who speaks fluent Spanish, represents the most diversified of all congressional districts. Called with admiration a force to be reckoned with and a maverick, Ms. Chisholm won a spot in 1971 on the House Education and Labor Committee-her main field of expertise and interest. There she served for six years before moving to the prestigious Rules Committee, where she is now a ranking member. In 1972 the Congresswoman ran for President, becoming the Hrst black woman to seek America's highest office. Al- though she lost, her name, goals and leadership were brought to national attention. Much has been written about Ms. Chisholm-she is the sub ject of at least six books and numerous magazine articles. The holder of 15 honorary degrees from colleges and univer- sities throughout the country, she is also afliliated with doz- ens of political, educational and public service organizations including: 0 League of Women Voters ' Democratic Women's Workshop ' Brooklyn Branch, NAACP 0 Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Home for the Aged 0 National Association of College Women ' National Advisory Council for the Institute for Studies in Education, Notre Dame ' Honorary Board of Cosmopolitan Young People's Sym- phony Orchestra, Inc., New York City ' Foundation for Research and Education in Sickle Cell Disease 0 Honorary Committee Member, United Negro College Fund
