Chisholm for President! tells the story of Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman to be elected to Congress and to run for the nomination of the President of the United States.
Through live music and performance, the staged concerts will tell the true story of a black woman’s struggle against the political machine and her trailblazing run for the Democratic US presidential nomination in 1972.
