1972 Democratic National Convention

she helped form the Congressional Black Caucus. She also was a member of the National Organization for Women. Ms. Chisholm was an activist for people of color, including Native Americans and Spanish-speaking immigrants. She often spoke about cultural and social issues. Chisholm joined a local Democratic club who worked to get rid of the white Democratic machine that held the power in her Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The group challenged the white leaders on why the black neighborhoods were being ignored. The leaders tried to quiet Chisholm by placing her on the board of directors and when she continued to speak out, they removed her from the post. The group managed to elect a black man, Thomas R. Jones, to state assembly in 1962 and, when in 1964 he decided to run for a judgeship, the community replaced him with Chisholm. During the time that she served in the assembly Chisholm sponsored fifty bills, but only eight of them passed. One of the successful bills she supported provided assistance for poor students to go on to higher education. Another provided employment insurance coverage for personal and…

The LEAD conference is national Student Council leadership convention. The opportunity to go was an experience that I will never forget and an experience that changed my life. Going into this event, I thought it would just be some seminars…

decided to go home for a bit. We had been non-stop working for three months, and we were drained. After about a month or two of staying in Florida, we got word of a petition in Arizona going for six dollars a signature! That was higher than we had ever seen it. Josh and I made it for the last two weeks of the campaign, and between the two of us, made over four thousand dollars. After Arizona, we all piled into a short blue bus and headed to Ohio. Ohio was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed…

That Stan Lee guy you talk about is going to be there, and some Walking Dead characters.” Stan Lee is one of the original people who worked with Marvel comics.

One of the clubs formed during this time that would prove to be a significant club during the Revolution was the Jacobin Club. Clubs like the Jacobin Club had strong political opinion that really put pressure on the government. Another issue that began to arise was the fact that the country was still in debt so the National Assembly began to come up with ideas on…

more independent. But as for me, I was a very shy, quiet, and stay-to-myself kind of person. I didn’t like being around a lot of people or just doing nothing. When times got hard I would listen to my music and just be in my own little world. I would bottle up all my emotions and not tell anybody anything. I wanted to let everything out. But I didn't know who to talk to or go to. Until one day in the summer, my grandma called me and asked if I wanted to go with her to a convention. I say to…
