Shirely Chisholm

    Shirley Chisholm è stata una figura pioniera che ha sostenuto i diritti e la rappresentanza delle comunità emarginate. La sua educazione precoce alle Barbados le ha instillato una solida base comunicativa, plasmando i suoi futuri impegni. Chisholm ha sfruttato le sue esperienze per diventare la prima donna nera eletta al Congresso e membro fondatore del Congressional Black Caucus. Ha condotto le sue campagne con la determinazione di superare ostacoli scoraggianti, con l'obiettivo di ispirare gli altri a sfidare lo status quo.

    • 2021

      “All I can say is that I’m a shaker-upper. That’s exactly what I am.” —Shirley Chisholm When Shirley Chisholm announced her candidacy for the democratic presidential nomination in 1972, she became the first Black candidate for a major party's nomination—just four years after she had become the first ever Black woman in Congress. In this collection of interviews stretching from her first major profile to her final interview, this icon of iron will and unshakeable political principle reveals how her disciplined and demanding childhood and the expectations placed on her by the public shaped her into a force of nature and the ultimate people’s politician—tirelessly advocating in the halls of government for the poorest and most disadvantaged of the nation.
