2 Of course, Shirley Chisholm's venture in the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination contest indicates that the effort of a black to run for president is not new. What is new, however, is the attention which is being given by the press and others to current discussions of the matter in terms of its potential impact on Democratic nomination politics and on presidential politics generally.
