Less noticed was her decision to leave other pro–de Blasio figures out in  
the cold. James, whose most high-profile stance has been her opposition to the  
massive Atlantic Yard arena project, was shut out altogether in the awarding 
of  committee leadership posts. "I am bloodied but unbossed," James said last 
week,  echoing the late Shirley Chisholm.

"Bloodied but unbowed" was used in the recent NYC transit mess. I thought  it 
was older than 1904.
...
New York City Council Member Letitia James has used "bloodied but  unbossed," 
and the Village Voice said that this echoes Shirley Chisholm.  Chisholm's 
book was titled "Unbought and Unbossed." The phrase pre-dated Shirley  Chisolm 
and was used by New York City Mayor Victor Impellitteri. "Unbought  and 
unbossed" was also used in the Presidential campaign of Warren Harding  (1920) and the 
campaign of La Guardia (1933).

The audience became impatient and as the crowds in the balcony started  
clapping Mr. Boehm stepped before the microphone and introduced the first  speaker, 
Moses H. Grossman, the Recovery party candidate for Justice of the  Supreme 
Court.
...
Judge Grossman evoked the first applause when he mentioned the name of Mr.  
McKee and then the names of the other principal candidates on the Recovery  
ticket.
...
"Each of them," he said, "was nominated solely by the petitions of the  
people and not by the hands of any political bosses. This is not a political  
campaign; this is a political revolution."
...
These men, he went on, "are running in spite of a stupid and arrogant  
political" hierarchy which opposed their candidacy. The Recovery party, he  
emphasized, stands for political independence and its candidates, when elected,  will 
be "unbought and unbossed."

In an attempt to attain party harmony, Mr. DeSapio offered Mr. Impellitteri  
a Democratic nomination for Supreme Court Justice with oral assurance of a  
Liberal party endorsement after Mr. Impellitteri had announced his intention to  
run for Mayor on an independent ticket. Mr. Impellitteri's refusal of this 
offer  enabled him to run as the "unbossed and unbought" candidate of the 
independent  Experience party. He defeated Ferdinand Pecora, former Supreme Court 
Justice,  the candidate of the Democratic and Liberal parties, by a plurality of 
 235,824.

Meanwhile, posters of the Experience party, the Mayor's party in 1950,  
appeared in many places in the city. They have been pasted over the pre-primary  
posters and urge a vote for Mr. Impellitteri on Nov. 3 as the candidate who  
"cannot be bought or bossed."

William J. Donoghue, former secretary to Mayor Impeelitteri, yesterday  
joined the staff of the headquarters of Robert F. Wagner Jr., Democratic nominee
