We're a day late in observing the centenary of Shirley Chisholm, but we liked this photo so much that we couldn't resist.
"Let us celebrate Shirley Chisholm’s brilliance, determination, and grace," Vice President Harris tweeted. "So many of us stand on her broad shoulders. With her spirit and in honor of her legacy, let us continue to speak truth to power and fight for equality and justice for all."
Chisholm probably would not be pleased with the lack of progress women are making at the highest level of our government. In the last eight years, two brilliant women have had to concede a Presidential election to an unspeakably terrible man. Although Harris's wise words — like Chisholm's fighting spirit — inspire us, we cats still HISS.
