Real history that is fake ;)

Reality: On 4 February 1938 a wave of strikes began by dock workers in Hawaii demanding equal pay with dockers on the West Coast of the United States, and a union shop. The strike ended with police shooting 50 unarmed workers in the Hilo massacre. This is a history of the events: https://libcom.org/history/hilo-massacre-1938

In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. In 1972 she became the first Black candidate to run for a major party's nomination for president (and the first woman to run for the Democratic nomination.)

While she struggled to be taken seriously by the Democratic establishment, she had no illusions about her presidential run but said she did it "in spite of hopeless odds... to demonstrate the sheer will and refusal to accept the status quo."
