Friday, Oct. 20th • 2 PM • Woodcock Conference Suite 212-214
SUNY CANTON COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
Come meet Anastasia Curwood as she discusses her new biography on the first Black Congresswoman, Shirley Chisholm. Dr. Curwood is a Hallam Professor and Department Chair of History and the Director of Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies at University of Kentucky.
Shaking up New York and national politics by becoming the first African American congresswoman and, later, the first Black major-party presidential candidate, Shirley Chisholm left an indelible mark as an “unbought and unbossed” firebrand and a leader in politics for meaningful change. Chisholm arrived at her Black feminism on her own path, making signature contributions to U.S. politics as an inventor and practitioner of Black feminist power— the vantage point centering Black girls and women in the movement that sought to transform political power into a broadly democratic force.
