Written and performed by Ingrid Griffith, SHIRLEY CHISOLM: UNBOSSED AND UNBOWED brings to life the extraordinary story of the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress and the first Black candidate to seek the presidential nomination of a major political party.
Spanning the more than five decades, the play traces Shirley Chisholm’s journey from a ten-year-old girl shaped by her Caribbean heritage to a fearless political trailblazer who challenged entrenched power structures in the name of justice, equity, and representation.
