Films at the Schomburg: "Chisholm '72 — Unbought & Unbossed" with Shola Lynch + Dr. Niambi Carter,

'Shirley Chisholm was the first African American to seek the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 1972. Faced with opposition from established politicos and the media, this documentary showcases the tenacity of Chisholm who remained unbought and unbossed throughout her campaign.  In collaboration with Women In Islam, Inc., and in honor of the 2016 election year, the +Schomburg Center  was thrilled to host a screening of Chisholm ‘72 - Unbought & Unbossed, followed by a talkback with director Shola Lynch, Curator of our Moving Image and Recorded Sound Division, and Dr. Niambi Carter, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Howard University and co-author of Gender and Black Presidential Politics: From Chisholm to Moseley-Braun.'
