On January 25, 1972, Shirley Chisholm announced her candidacy for president. She stood before the cameras and in the beginning of her speech she said,
"I stand before you today as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women’s movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people."
The best candidate for the people should be the main concern! Someone that’s going to have the the ability to build that bridge from the present leadership to the future leadership! It is paramount to be connected with both sides!
When this bridge is built a change will occur!
