It’s Black History Month!
February 1, 2025
🗣️ “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” – Shirley Chisholm
This Black History Month, Flat Rock Archive, Inc. honors Shirley Chisholm, a trailblazer who embodies the resilience spirit that defines our community’s history.
👑 Shirley Chisholm’s Legacy:
- First African American woman elected to Congress (1968)
- First Black candidate to run for a major party’s presidential nomination (1972)
- Championed education, civil rights, and women’s equality
- Co-founded the Congressional Black Caucus
Chisholm’s determination to claim her place in politics mirrors the tenacity of Flat Rock’s founders, who built a thriving community against all odds. Her advocacy for the underrepresented echoes our mission to preserve and amplify rural Black voices in American history.
At Flat Rock Archive, we continue to “bring our folding chair” by ensuring our community’s stories are heard and celebrated. Visit us to explore how local history connects to these national icons of Black excellence.
