In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress. In 1972, she ran a historic campaign as the first African-American to run for a major-party nomination for the president of the United States, and the first woman to run for the nomination in the Democratic party. In a conversation with Prof. Barbara Winslow, we discuss Chisholm’s story, Winslow’s own reflections, Shola Lynch’s film Chisholm ‘72: Unbought and Unbossed, and why we need to be educated about leaders like Chisholm.
