Unbought and Unbosses: Remembering Shirley Chrisholm
Before Jesse, before Al, before Barack—there was Shirley. Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman elected to the United States Congress (in 1969) and the first African American of either gender to seek a major party's presidential nomination, an effort recounted in the documentary "Unbought & Unbossed." Whether or not Shirley Chisholm met her goal of becoming "a catalyst for change," as she planned, is arguable. But that she had guts and the strength of her convictions is beyond debate. Come learn about a true trailblazer.
