Shirley Chisholm's Comments

Someone once asked you how you would like to be remembered.  What was your answer?

When I listen to you speak, you have a bit of an accent. What kind of an accent is it?

When I talk I have a Barbadian accent because when I was younger I went to school in Barbados. 

Of course I am. Thank you very much, ma'am. 

Mrs.Chisolm,

Congratulations on winning your place in Congress. Though having lost is a bit discouraging, I have decided to take a position under the Nixon Administration as the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. I hope this moves me up a step in the political aspect of my career. I also hope your win is a gain in your career. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Best Wishes,  

- James Leonard Farmer, Jr.
