Which quotation is formatted correctly?

Answer

Chisholm ends her speech with a call to join her “in an effort to reshape our society and regain control of our destiny” (Chisholm).

Here she states everyone should join me in an effort to reshape our society and regain control of our destiny, as we go down the Chisholm Trail of 1972.

“Join me in an effort to reshape our society and regain control of our destiny, as we go down the Chisholm Trail of 1972,” which I think is a strong message.
