A timely new movie just came out streaming on Netflix. Shirley tells the story of an African American congresswoman in the 70’s who made a bid for the US Presidency on the Democratic Party ticket. Shirley Chisholm was ultimately unsuccessful at securing her party’s nomination, but the path she took to that failure is truly inspiring. In our own national moment in which this political party has recently lost a presidential election, a story like Chisholm’s can provide hope and healing for the future.
