This solo dramatic presentation — written and performed by actress, playwright, and teaching artist of Guyanese heritage Ingrid Griffith — is the largely unheard story of Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African-American woman to win a seat in the U.S. Congress and run for the Presidency of the United States. This presentation dramatizes the Civil Rights era, the unrest of the 1960s, and the patriarchal system and all-boys network that Shirley Chisholm was up against, many themes we still see in the politics of today.
