NEWS RECAP
Chisholm '72 broadcast on PBS, was nominated for Two Independent Spirit Awards (the Indie Oscars) and was released on Home Video. Our only sad moment was the passing of Shirley Chisholm on January 1st. At least her voice can continue to be heard through her two books (Unbought & Unbossed and The Good Fight) as well as through her interview in Chisholm '72.
The Calendar
FEBRUARY 7TH Chisholm '72 broadcasts nationally on PBS presented by The P.O.V. series on February 7th. Check your local listings for times on the P.O.V. website.
