Chisholm Biography of Congresswoman Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm. Chisholm was one of the founders of the Black Congress and the first African-American to make a serious bid for president of the United States of America. Congresswoman Chisholm was known for her advocacy on behalf of women and underserved minorities. She was also noted for her opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, her support for full-time programs, and her efforts on behalf of black colleges, compulsory education, and the minimum wage. Shirley Chisholm was born on November 30, 1924. She grew up in Barbados and Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Brooklyn College with a bachelor's degree in 1946. While working as a teacher, Chisholm received a master's degree in primary education from Columbia University's College of Education. Until 1964, she worked as director of a childcare centre and as an education consultant. In 1964, Chisholm ran for election to the New York State Legislature, where she served for four years. Then, in 1968, Chisholm became the first African-American woman elected to Congress, representing the 12th District of New York. Chisholm served in the United States House of Representatives for seven terms, from 1968-1983 (91st-97th Congress). She was the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress and was an effective advocate for the needs of minorities, women and children. Chisholm served on the Education and Labor, Rules and Veterans Affairs committees. During her fifteen years in the House of Representatives, Chisholm co-founded the National Political Congress of Black Women, supported the Equal Rights Amendment and fought for the legalization of abortion. Chisholm was also a co-founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW). In 1972, Chisholm was the first African-American woman to run for president of the United States. When she retired in 1983, she was the third-largest member of the Education and Labor Committee. After leaving Congress, Chisholm was appointed chairman of Purington Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, where she taught politics and women's studies while remaining an advocate for education. In 1984 and 1988, Chisholm worked on the presidential campaigns of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. in 1987, retired from teaching and moved to Florida. Chisholm died on January 1, 2005. In February 2005, Shirley Chisholm '72: Unbought and Unbossed, a documentary chronicling Chisholm's 1972 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, was shown on U.S. state television.

  • Diana Mara Henry Collection (20Th Century Photographer)
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Diana Mara Henry Collection (20th Century Photographer) 1934-2014 110 boxes (97 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 051 Collection overview Recognized for her coverage of historic events and personalities, the photographer Diana Mara Henry took the first steps toward her career in 1967 when she became photo editor for the Harvard Crimson. After winning the Ferguson History Prize and graduating from Harvard with a degree in government in 1969, Henry returned to New York to work as a researcher with NBC News and as a general assignment reporter for the Staten Island Advance, but in 1971 she began to work as a freelance photographer. Among many projects, she covered the Democratic conventions of 1972 and 1976 and was selected as official photographer for both the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and the First National Women's Conference in 1977, and while teaching at the International Center for Photography from 1974-1979, she developed the community workshop program and was a leader in a campaign to save the Alice Austin House. Her body of work ranges widely from the fashion scene in 1970s New York and personal assignments for the family of Malcolm Forbes and other socialites to political demonstrations, cultural events, and photoessays on one room schoolhouses in Vermont and everyday life in Brooklyn, France, Nepal, and Bali. Widely published and exhibited, her work is part of permanent collections at institutions including the Schlesinger Library, the Library of Congress, Smithsonian, and the National Archives. The Henry collection is a rich evocation of four decades of political, social, and cultural change in America beginning in the late 1960s as seen through the life of one photojournalist.

  • Abrams 1 for the People?: the Role of Prosecutorial Misconduct in The
    Abrams 1 For the People?: The Role of Prosecutorial Misconduct in the Rise of Progressive Prosecution in Brooklyn, 1964-2019 Kayla Abrams Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University March 2021 Seminar Advisor: Professor Samuel Roberts Second Reader: Professor Kellen Funk Abrams 2 Abstract In this paper, I investigate how “progressive prosecution” arose in Brooklyn in the early 2010s. I argue that “progressive prosecution” emerged in reaction to the prosecutorial misconduct that characterized the Office for most of its history. To prove this, I show that the history of the Brooklyn DA’s Office is one in which the Office was constantly combating the reality and perception of malpractice. While the Office was able to limit corruption when it professionalized in the late 1960s, it was unable to do the same with prosecutorial misconduct due to a lack of political pressure or the respective DA’s “insider” status—and often both. Therefore, Ken Thompson was able to capitalize on this inability to deal with prosecutorial misconduct throughout those fifty years, along with a growing national desire for a less punitive criminal justice system, to bring progressive prosecution to Brooklyn. As Brooklyn is the fifth largest jurisdiction in the country, with an estimated population of over 2.5 million people, any change in Brooklyn always has national implications. However, while my analysis has this specific regional focus, the story I tell is not just a Brooklyn story. Although every Office does have their own unique history, the factors I discuss – continual prosecutorial misconduct, changing public opinion on the punitiveness of the justice system, and “progressive” candidates – were present in other cities who in the ensuing decade have similarly elected “progressive prosecutors”, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St.

Morton President, Progressive Forum [email protected] 713-664-0020 office Historic photos from the National Women’s Conference are available from Diana Mara Henry, the official photographer, at www.dianamarahenry.com, 413-736-6414. Gloria Steinem, Houston and History: The First National Women’s Conference in 1977. Background to “An Evening With Gloria Steinem” on September 17, 2007. Our “Evening with Gloria Steinem” marks the 30th anniversary of the historic National Women’s Conference which took place in Houston November 18 to 21, 1977. It was attended by over 20,000 women, including Gloria Steinem. Feminist scholars compare its importance to the Women’s Rights Convention held by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and suffragists in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. In fact, Time magazine’s edition of November 28, 1977, reported that the Houston conference started with a torch relay from Seneca Falls, the final leg run by conference leader Bella Abzug, Billie Jean King, and others in a driving rain. Time said, “Nothing like it has been seen in the U.S. in at least 129 years – or ever…[It’s] the largest political conference of women ever assembled.” Gloria Steinem, in her essay entitled “Houston and History,” from her book, Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions (1983), says, “For myself, Houston and all the events surrounding it have become a landmark in personal history…. Figuring out the date of any other event now means remembering: Was it before or after Houston?” Bella -More- Page 2 Abzug’s report of the conference recommendations, called the National Plan of Action, was delivered to President Carter on March 22, 1978, in a White House ceremony, it was entitled “The Spirit of Houston: The First National Women’s Conference.” The conference took place in the Sam Houston Coliseum, now demolished, The Hobby Center was constructed in its place.

SHE’S BEAUTIFUL takes us from the founding of NOW, with ladies in hats and gloves, to the emergence of more radical factions of women’s liberation; from intellectuals like Kate Millett to the street theatrics of WITCH (Women’s International Conspiracy from Hell!). It does not shy away from controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the women’s movement, and brilliantly captures the spirit of the time -- thrilling, scandalous, and often hilarious. LONG SYNOPSIS SHE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE’S ANGRY is a provocative and rousing look at the birth of the women’s liberation movement in the late 1960’s. The film offers a unique focus on local and lesser-known activists, including the Boston authors of Our Bodies, Ourselves , the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union, and grassroots organizations across the country, using never-seen before archival footage, great music from the period and artful re-enactments. She’s Beautiful depicts the early days of the National Organization for Women (NOW) when ladies wore hats and gloves.
