Shirley Chisholm, 1968’de Kongre’ye se\u00e7ilen ilk siyahi kad\u0131n olarak tarihe ge\u00e7ti. Se\u00e7imi, Amerikan siyasetinde \u0131rk ve cinsiyet ayr\u0131mc\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 y\u0131kan, \u00e7\u0131\u011f\u0131r a\u00e7an bir and\u0131. Chisholm’un e\u015fitlik ve sosyal adalet i\u00e7in y\u0131lmaz savunuculu\u011fu, ulus \u00fczerinde kal\u0131c\u0131 bir miras b\u0131rakt\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
1924’te New York, Brooklyn’de Karayipler’den g\u00f6\u00e7 etmi\u015f ebeveynlerin \u00e7ocu\u011fu olarak d\u00fcnyaya gelen Chisholm, kariyerine anaokulu \u00f6\u011fretmeni olarak ba\u015flad\u0131, ancak k\u0131sa s\u00fcrede aktivizme y\u00f6neldi. Sivil haklar ve kad\u0131nlar\u0131n g\u00fc\u00e7lenmesi i\u00e7in m\u00fccadele eden League of Women Voters ve Ulusal Renkli \u0130nsanlar\u0131n Geli\u015fimi Derne\u011fi (NAACP) gibi kurulu\u015flara kat\u0131ld\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
1964’te Chisholm, New York Eyalet Meclisi’ne se\u00e7ildi ve bu kuruma se\u00e7ilen ikinci Afrikal\u0131-Amerikal\u0131 oldu. D\u00f6rt y\u0131l sonra, ABD Temsilciler Meclisi’nde bir sandalye kazanarak \u00fclke \u00e7ap\u0131nda tarih yazd\u0131. Kongre \u00fcyesi olarak Chisholm, Vietnam Sava\u015f\u0131’n\u0131n a\u00e7\u0131k bir \u015fekilde ele\u015ftirmeniydi ve e\u011fitim, sa\u011fl\u0131k ve ekonomik e\u015fitlik alanlar\u0131nda ilerici politikalar i\u00e7in bask\u0131 yapt\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
1972’de Chisholm, Demokrat ba\u015fkan adayl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 arayan ilk kad\u0131n oldu. Adayl\u0131\u011f\u0131 kazanamam\u0131\u015f olsa da kampanyas\u0131, siyasette kad\u0131nlar\u0131n ve renkli insanlar\u0131n daha fazla temsil edilmesi gere\u011fi konusunda g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc bir mesaj verdi. Chisholm, adayl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n ba\u015fkalar\u0131n\u0131 stat\u00fckoya meydan okumaya ve de\u011fi\u015fim i\u00e7in \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmaya te\u015fvik edece\u011fine inan\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n\n
Chisholm’un miras\u0131, Kongre’ye se\u00e7ilmesinin \u00e7ok \u00f6tesine uzan\u0131yor. E\u015fit haklar, e\u011fitim ve t\u00fcm Amerikal\u0131lar i\u00e7in ekonomik f\u0131rsatlar i\u00e7in m\u00fccadele eden, sosyal adaletin yorulmaz bir savunucusuydu. \u00c7al\u0131\u015fmalar\u0131, siyasette kad\u0131nlar\u0131n ve az\u0131nl\u0131klar\u0131n sonraki nesilleri i\u00e7in yolu a\u00e7maya yard\u0131mc\u0131 oldu.<\/p>\n\n
Chisholm’un \u00e7\u0131\u011f\u0131r a\u00e7an ba\u015far\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 takdir etmek i\u00e7in New York, She Built NYC giri\u015fiminin bir par\u00e7as\u0131 olarak onun ad\u0131na bir heykel dikiyor. Giri\u015fim, kamu an\u0131tlar\u0131ndaki cinsiyet dengesizli\u011fini d\u00fczeltmeyi ve kad\u0131nlar\u0131n \u015fehrin tarihine yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131 katk\u0131lar\u0131 sergilemeyi ama\u00e7l\u0131yor.<\/p>\n\n
Chisholm’un “sat\u0131n al\u0131nmam\u0131\u015f ve h\u00fckmedilmemi\u015f” slogan\u0131, ilkelerine olan sars\u0131lmaz ba\u011fl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 yans\u0131t\u0131yordu. G\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc \u00e7\u0131karlardan gelen bask\u0131lara boyun e\u011fmeyi veya de\u011ferlerinden \u00f6d\u00fcn vermeyi reddetti. Cesur ruhu ve kararl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131, bug\u00fcn hala aktivistlere ve politikac\u0131lara ilham veriyor.<\/p>\n\n
Shirley Chisholm, engelleri y\u0131kan ve Amerikan tarihinde silinmez bir iz b\u0131rakan vizyon sahibi bir liderdi. E\u015fitlik konusundaki savunuculu\u011fu, duvarlar\u0131 y\u0131kma konusundaki kararl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve sars\u0131lmaz ruhu onu ger\u00e7ek bir \u00f6nc\u00fc ve gelecek nesiller i\u00e7in bir ilham kayna\u011f\u0131 yap\u0131yor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
