It's Shirley Chisolm's 100th Birthday - Saturday Night OT

 



this is her, dancing at a party - she was a very good salsa dancer


she was also a pianist - her mother wanted her to do strictly classical music but she learned jazz by ear

(I didn't know till now she & I had that in common)


 Juanita Tolliver has written a new book about her




and this is something she would likely have said (or written) -- and/but if you look closely you'll see that it's actually a contemporary statement (we'll have more on that in comments)


I'm feeling under the weather this weekend (literally crashed out Thursday night with a monster sore throat - probably after overworking in "nobody else was going to do it" mode) but I'm wishing everyone here a weekend more like this 



yeah, a little bit
