1969 Important photograph of Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn as she was announced as the first black woman elected to Congress. She would also become the first black woman to run for President in 1972. Issued by the United Press and with a full paper caption on the back, the image presents well with a few creases from news-room handling. This is the first image of Chisholm we have ever seen and it is making it's debut here!
