After watching "Chisholm '72: Unbought and Unbossed" in class, write a reflection of at least 300 words about one or more of the following prompts:
- What about Shirley Chisholm's run for president made it so revolutionary? Would it be equally revolutionary today? Why or why not?
- If Shirley Chisholm from 1972 was transported through time to 2016, could she have won the Democratic primary last year? Why or why not? Could she have become president last year? Why or why not?
- Who are the Shirley Chisholms of 2017? Research 3-4 women of color in politics and compare their policy positions to those of Shirley Chisholm.
- What effects have Shirley Chisholm's run for president had since 1972?
You can also respond with your own personal reaction to the film if you don't care for any of the prompts above.
