I remember that summer of 72 and the election of Nixon so vividly. Having grown up in the segregated south it amazed me to see a woman, and a woman of color show the world that it didn’t matter your sex or race - everyone should have a chance to compete. I really loved her.

Wow. What tremendous changes you have seen over the course of your life, Buzz. Shirley Chisholm worked so hard so that others after her would have an easier road. It's certainly better today than it was back then. There are more opportunities, but I'm not sure the road is any easier.

I agree Louise, we are more open minded now, possibly through force of having to be and whilst this is not a negative, I am certain it doesn't always make any important decision easier, quite the reverse, the options are vast for those who wish to research them and there lies the internal quandary.. what would be for the best?

The world needs more strong and honest people like Shirley Chisholm, people that are unbiased, not willing to be bought, who stick to their morals and genuinely think of others and the future.
