The primary school that Shirley Chisholm attended in Barbados was recently renamed in her honor. 🖤⁠ ⁠⁠ Chisholm was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Caribbean immigrant parents. Her parents sent her to live with her grandmother in Barbados when she was 3 years old, and she spent most of her early years there. ⁠ ⁠ While there, she attended the Vauxhall Primary School, which was renamed the Shirley Chisholm Primary School in April. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, dignitaries, guests, and the school community attended the renaming ceremony. ⁠ ⁠ During her address, Mottley said it’s the country’s duty and honor to how Chisholm lived her life—bringing equality, equity and empathy “to all that we do.” ⁠ ⁠ Mottley also announced that more plans to honor Chisholm are coming.
