Kamala Harris’ historic run was said to have roots to Shirley Chisholm, widely considered the first Black woman to seriously run for president. Chisholm’s political life is currently on display at the Museum of the City of New York in an exhibit called Changing the Face of Democracy, Shirley Chisholm at 100. Reporter Marissa Braswell takes us there, and speaks with The Shirley Chisholm Institute about Chisholm’s legacy and the work ahead.
