beginning and ending
"Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men."
-- Shirley Chisholm, 1924-2005; first black Congresswoman (served 1969-1983, D-NY), first black woman to run for President of the USA (in 1972).
Farewell, Shirley. You fought the good fight and you did it with style. May your name always be a blessing.
