The answers are C and D
A + C. She was the first African American woman elected to the US congress in 1968, and was the first African American woman to run for President of the United States in 1972.

She followed the Democratic party, eliminating the possibility for E.

She was the SECOND, not first, African American woman in the New York State legislature.

There are no records of her ever serving as a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s cabinet.

Good luck!
