Chisholm '72: Unbought & Unbossed

Before I saw this film I had never heard of Shirley Chisholm.

More people need to know about her. She was the first African-American woman elected to Congress and the first to make a serious bid for the Presidency of the United States of America.

This is my favourite Shirley Chisholm quote.

“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring in a folding chair.”

Like that and you will like this.
