[font=Century Gothic]"Chisholm 72 - Unbought and Unbossed" is an interesting documentary about Shirley Chisholm's run for President in 1972.(Shirley Chisholm(1924-2005) was elected to Congress in 1968 and served until her retirement in 1983.) She was the first African American and woman to seriously run for President.(For example, Victoria Woodhull's attempt about a century before did not garner a vote.) The movie focuses on Chisholm's candidacy and the Democratic primaries that year where at one point there were thirteen candidates, ranging from Chisholm to Alabama governor George Wallace. She ran not primarily to win but as a forerunner for people to come after her but very little has changed in Democratic Party politics in the last 30+ years. In the end, she should have received better support from prominent blacks and women than she did.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]In the epilogue, Shirley Chisholm said that she wanted to be rememembered as a woman who fought for change.[/font]
