CHISHOLM '72 - Unbought & Unbossed by Shola Lynch | Click to read the synopsis

In 1968, Shirley Chisholm becomes the first black woman elected to Congress. In 1972, she becomes the first black woman to run for president. Shunned by the political establishment, she's supported by a motley crew of blacks, feminists, and young voters. Their campaign-trail adventures are frenzied, fierce, and fundamentally right on! | Read the synopsis »
