Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed & Unbowed features two solo plays that spotlight groundbreaking women in American history who sought the presidency, separated by a century. The performance includes Emma Palzere-Rae's exploration of Victoria Woodhull, who ran for president in 1872, and Ingrid Griffith's portrayal of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman to seek the nomination from a major party in 1972. Both plays reflect on their legacies and the ongoing fight for social justice and equality. The event celebrates the centennial of Chisholm's birth and is designed to inspire contemporary audiences.
