Shirley Chisolm was an extraordinary woman who broke racial and gender barriers in politics. Her hard work and determination prove to this day that women and people of color are capable of contributing to the world. Ms. Chisolm dedicated her life to bringing equality to all. Shirley Chisolm was the first black woman in America to be elected into congress as a U.S. Representative. She helped pave the way for the people in politics today and was the very definition of strength and boldness. In this class, students will learn about the incredible life of Shirley Chisolm. We will talk about how her voice and actions made great changes across the country. Students will learn how she tore down barriers, becoming the first black congresswoman and the first black American to run for president. This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, as I love to give all students the time speak if they chose to do so.

I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being bias. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students.
