Read the excerpt from Shirley Chisholm’s presidential announcement speech. I have faith in the American people. I believe that we are smart enough to correct our mistakes.

B
her connection to women and minorities as a symbol of her campaign

Explanation
Chisholm says she has faith in the American people and believes they can correct mistakes and recognize the abilities of all Americans.
