NEW! Shirley Chisholm: 1st African-American In Congress

J. Levy

The child of immigrants, she was the first African American woman elected to Congress and the first African American to run for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. This compelling volume traces Chisholm's life from her childhood through her career in education and her extraordinary political career. Accessible text provides important social studies content and remarkable photographs bring Chisholm's story into focus. Gr. 3-7
