The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇

Shirley Chisholm made history in 1968 as the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress, representing New York’s 12th congressional district. A trailblazer for racial and gender equality, she was known for her campaign slogan, "Unbought and Unbossed," and her fierce advocacy for education, social justice, and women's rights. In 1972, she broke further barriers by becoming the first Black woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of leaders.
