It’s International Women’s Day. How About a Hug!
Today, we celebrate the centennial of International Women’s Day, when over one million people attended rallies in support of women’s right to work, vote, be trained, hold public office and be free of discrimination. I’m in awe of the visionary women who took to the streets for their dignity and freedom, paving the way for us all. Case in point: Shirley Chisholm, who was the first black woman elected to Congress, and is seen in this exuberant photo during her 1972 campaign for President.
