Dr. Una Clarke has very fond memories of her lifelong friend Shirley Chisholm - the first Black woman to seek the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1972.
Darla Miles spoke to Congresswoman Yvette Clarke and her mother about Thursday night's historic moment at the DNC , as well as another back in 1972.
"I thought about her last night and recognized that her bravery, as I call her, I said 'Shirley, you're the brave one," said Dr. Clarke. "There've been a lot of references to Shirley Chisholm during this week, as there should be," said Rep. Clarke. She did - and became the first Caribbean-born woman to serve on the New York City council. Her daughter, Yvette - succeeding her in that seat - now serving in the same Brooklyn district in Congress that Chisholm served.
