That our truths will continue to surface and be broadcast to us all around the world throughout the end of time.

Still, in spite of ALL of their unthinkable efforts, Like the Sun... "Yet, we rise and shine brightly!" Keep striving, and thriving Y'all. ...and with every opportunity, do what's right, because it is the right thing to do. Let us be people of Great Integrity. ...and Remember, "Ain't no quit in us at all!!" ...and DOWN, IS NOT "A Thing" designated for us!

@@Mark-zk6hw I be wanting to hear from the horses mouth and stop non researching sht and claim I know the truth of what it was. I do my due diligence to know what was going on in and around this era. Cause everything can’t be caught on film.
I was trying to see if Regina had the accent and dictation correct. Very different.
She’s not spoken about enough in my opinion. Trailblazer!
She is getting a little older now, so it is up to Af-Am females to get this and much more info out there! Regina King did it and now many more need to step up and server by doing the same. Carrying the "torch" is and honor!
Of course not we black push us up under the rug💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢
Not nearly enough
💯
I met Shirley Chisholm at Bethune-Cookmam College in 2003. It was such an honor. She was in her 90s and still distinguished and proud. That was a remarkable moment in my life.
oh wow! lucky!
She died when she was 80.
She died at 80 who in fact did you meet?
Two years after you met her, she passed away. @ricecost577, You were lucky to have the honor of meeting one of the greatest African American political leaders.
Shirley died at 80
I am so grateful to Regina and Reina King for producing "Shirley". 👏🏾 Shirley A Chisholm's story needed to be told! ❤
Check out too the documentary by Shola Lynch - Chisholm 72': Unbought & Unbossed.
Yes🎉🎉🎉
Just saw the poster on a bus stop in BK, will be going back for a pik, ❤ her! ☮💕
Yes. I learned quite a bit Considering I just knew her as the first black woman to run for president
Thank you Regina King for bringing her life to the screen 🙌🏾
I just wish she would have lived a few more years to have seen President Obama take office. An amazing woman.
Yes
just 6 more years
He is not a reflection of progress for black people.
@@envogue2004 well then what is he?
I agree with @Subseven! She is for the cause-for the people!
As a little black girl in Brooklyn, I loved Shirley Chisholm. They treated her so badly, but she never gave up
What a beautiful, intelligent, sweet, and humorous human being. This was a lovely interview with Ms. Chisolm.
Agree 💯😊
I've always admired Ms. Shirley Chisholm 😊
Ok I get why she was the first woman to run for president. She's brilliant, hilarious and wonderfully gracious.
She is the First black woman Elected to Coogress [I lke saying that] and the first to run for the Pres Of USA ,however, a Mrs JOAN WOODHUL app was the first, she was quite a stelth lady off her times and on Wall Street, she wanted FREDRIC DOUDLAS as her running mate, he app declined.
Woman are you sure?
Her announcement speech in 72 was beautiful..
Kelly kelly more of a woman than you’ll ever be. Vile.
Kelly kelly you’re boring
She was the Congresswoman for my district in Brooklyn, NY as a kid. She was the guest speaker at my fifth grade graduation in 1972.
You, your class and all of American witnessed amazing grace! Considering the era, who would be so bold and daring to buck the System? Certainly, not an Af-Am female! Madame Shirley, you must admit, was a God send in the midst of all the hate and racism of the time. Not only does Delta Sigma Theta get to pay homage to the Queen, all Af-Am females stand in awe of her grace, intelligence and poise! Now, we have a Vice President (AKA) who has repented this county with grace, intelligence and poise! Shine on ladies...
QUEEN YOU ARE STILL SHINING BRIGHT WHILE YOU’RE RESTING #perfection
It’s a shame that how they believe we were finally intelligent according to them
@@patriciacrawford2583 And they're still DUMB😂😂😂😂
Great statement. ❤
🎇
@@patriciacrawford2583 the truth is, (specifically the "problematic" people) They Truly Know we are the Earthly Truth. Our unstoppable capabilities knowing our amazing Truths, THAT is what scares the Truth outta them about us. We are absolutely the Earthly Beginning and the answer to far more than we may ever know, especially since they have gone to Immeasurable UnGodly Lengths to confuse and totally erase our truths in effort to leave us ignorant and hopeless about ourselves with every generation. ...a people wandering aimlessly. The affects of a pitiful people without a country, roots, nor a past is what they hoped to create. But prayerfully, the old adage will ever ring true that says, "What goes on in the dark will come to light." That our truths will continue to surface and be broadcast to us all around the world throughout the end of time. Their efforts to keep us uneducated, miseducated and Down remain works of The Wicked, and what The Bible says regarding the consequences for The Wicked is so fitting in this case. Still, in spite of ALL of their unthinkable efforts, Like the Sun... "Yet, we rise and shine brightly!" Keep striving, and thriving Y'all. ...and with every opportunity, do what's right, because it is the right thing to do. Let us be people of Great Integrity. ...and Remember, "Ain't no quit in us at all!!" ...and DOWN, IS NOT "A Thing" designated for us! I always say, "I will be found occupying until He comes or calls!" ...and know that Time is winding up. Get Ready, get Right, and let's go Home, Family! ❤❤❤❤❤...
COURAGE is smiling in the face of ADVERSITY!!
Courage is sometimes showing your sadness
She’s a Barbadian at heart! Love her courage and perseverance! God bless her soul.
The Caribbean abrasiveness in the way she dealt with those racists.
If looks could kill ,a bajan saying. Lol
You can hear the bajan accent
I wish someone who was Caribbean played her...Caan tek di fake accent dem
Yes, you can clearly hear the Bajan accent🇧🇧
I appreciate the opportunity to listen to her.
Yes indeed, her and Barbara Jordan of Texas...💫
@@adw1768 I know these initials.....
Me too!!! ❤❤❤
“I believe that before a woman can become President of this country, a woman has to be a Vice President first of all...” We’re on the right track, Shirley. 🙏🏾
And sure enough she’s a woman of color 😭. We did something Mrs. Shirley thought wouldn’t happen.
Amen!!!
Yep👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I could have sat with Ms. Shirley Chisholm for hours and listened quietly. May she rest well! 😊❤️🙏🏾
I didn't know Shirley was this funny. I am about to go down the Shirley Chisom rabbit hole which I should've done a long time ago since I am a history buff and love my black history. Can't wait to see Regina king in the role. Shirley was prophetic with her lady vice president take
Met her at Atlanta International Airport and we chatted for about 15 minutes between flights. One of the most memorable times of my life. An amazing human. We love you Congresswoman Chisholm. May you Rest in Peace.
UNBOUGHT AND UNBOSSED. What a grand lady.
It is funny how history tried to write the victors, but video shows us WHO are our true heros. Happy this interview was recorded.
YES! One fine day America will look TRUTH straight in the eye and pay rightful homage to those many, many Af-Ams who help build, fought and died for and contributed to wealth and success of this nation. God knows...
What a gift to this world! I love Ms. Chisholm's courage and sense of humor not to mention her brilliance!!
Such a phenomenal woman with an outstanding personality.
America owes you so much Queen! So much! May you always rest in power with those who fought your fought. Thank you for your service! For you time! For your wisdom on this planet! Because of you, we are a little bit better! All of us.
YES! A real QUEEN who stepped up in an era that was still hostile with unsocialized aggressive behaviors she had to face at every turn in the presence of White America!
I admire her. So glad I came across this interview. American treasure right here.
Hello Rachel
I love her, she took none of the crap. God bless her soul. RIP Mrs. Chisholm❤️
I watched the Movie two nights ago ,,, Regina King did an an Exceptional job playing Shirley Chisholm.
Regina King was just on the Jimmy Kimmel Show! She looked awesome! What a cool, calm and collected lady she was!
Shirley is motivation for all of us,that can't use their voice, that are black people and were isolated. She opened the doors for all black women in congress. Even she didn't win and it was really tragedic,she tought us to be crazy and change the world to the best. She even became more popular. She didn't give up. All the politicians that were at the same with her are forgotten. And only she stays in our hearts 💕💖❤ as lesson to continue to fight with unfairness❤❤❤
She sure is a phenomenal woman.
So proud of her and my Barbadian heritage. ❤️
Hello sandie
Yes! You can hear her accent too
Me too!
🇧🇧
🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Black woman Vice-President ✅
Let's work on being the President! Can't be any worse than Trump!
Blows my mind how this country could elect Trump and not Ms. Shirley for POTUS. No politician alive has a fraction of the courage she had. What a treasure. Thank you, ma'am.
So many years and I still love this lady. Shirley Chisholm thank you so much.
As a child, I didn’t watch Ms. Chisholm as my parents had. Now, as an adult, I enjoy listening to the way she spoke so eloquently, confidently and humorously. I appreciate how well she speaks, with pride, of speaking proper English too.
"Proper English too" seems like you have a limited mind.
@@sheppiehet5464, she is comparing how people were speaking back then to the way people speak today. I was blessed to have teachers who spoke as Ms. Chisholm. We don't hear eloquent speaking as much as we should. Mainstream journalists do not speak as eloquent.
@@Dr.Sharron please allow that commenter to speak for self.
Right. Even if she didn't her wisdom, spirit, and contributions are phenomenal.@@sheppiehet5464
@@Dr.SharronEloquence doesn't belong to English speaking people.
That’s a good Georgia accent!🤣Go Shirley!👏🏾Let the People know👏🏾
Like so many great Af-Am Comedians, the gift of Imitating others is a speciality!:)
Yyyeeesss that was a good imitation of that deep Georgia accent lol 🤣🤣🤣❤
I don't even like politics. However, as a black female child, I sat up and took notice. I wasn't really even old enough to understand but watching her talk and her look had me mesmerized. Thanks Regina King for bringing her story to light. "Before a woman can become president, she'll have to be Vice President first." The foresight she had back then. She was truly underestimated. The saddest thing is the immaturity within the House today.
Shirley Chisholm was and remains a national treasure 🇺🇸🎉
It’s about time …. thank you Regina King 👑! I adore Ms. Shirley Chisholm.
I'm doing an essay on her and thought it would be boring but she is very intelligent and she is indeed an inspirational woman
same here..but with SWAY
Im doing the exact samd thing
Hello
It's simply because we're ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATED. Not your fault...it has been embedded in you from the cradle.
Just starting watching Shirley I needed to check if Regina got her accent as I thought she had a Trini accent but then fact checked she was born in NY. Father from Guyana mother Barbados. So Regina got her accent right. Will continue watching and poo back again. Great interview though what a Gem.
Wow! Such a witty, brave woman!!
Excited about her movie can't wait to come out.
I was happy to hear they are doing a movie about Shirley Chisholm. I was a young girl during her time and appreciated the fact that a woman who looked like me was bold enough to take on the challenge of being our first woman Black President of the United States. You could not scare Madame Chisholm - no way - she was not afraid of the establishment of men who did not like her. I was so proud to be a woman of color during her time and prayed no one would hurt her.
Shirley Chisholm was Spot On with a Women 1st being a Vice President before a Women becoming The President of the USA. I enjoyed this conversation with her So Much. The Color of her hair looks Really Good on her. I am looking forward to seeing Regina play her in the movie.
how amazing she was. Even her sense of humor.
YES! Humor! Why? Laughter is the defiance to the misery heep upon African American as a People!
Thank you Mrs. Shirley ❤
Thank you. What a Awesome blast from the past !💓
I watched her on Netflix and then came here to watch this. What a woman ! love her attitude and grace
Such a joy to see when my Caribbean women excel in positions of political leadership. GOD definitely placed her there for a reason during a particular season of time, and she most defintely fulfilled her purpose! RIP Shirley!❤
Indeed..
Yasssss👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes ❤ rest peacefully to Mrs. Chisholm! Check out my book review on her life! 😊
HERO, HEROIN, ICON...there's no word to describe Shirley Chisholm...
Heroin? You meant HEROINE! Heroin is a drug!
Just so cool! This video is awesome. This woman was awesome. Man, I'm grateful to have seen this.
Hello
What a great woman of courage! Thank you for blazing those trails!!
Hello Yvette
Shirley Chisholm was a powerful Congresswoman, and presidential candidate. They did not know what hit them when Shirley Chisholm arrived.
💜I had a special privilege to meet with her@ the UD Women’s Conference💜
A QUEEN!!! A QUeen indeed!!
Hi
I lived in a small white town and my mom suppoted Shirley always made me appreciate her importance
And 25 years later look what we’ve got A Black Woman Vice President . Shirley predicted it ❤ 😊 she is smiling in Heaven
A very impressive woman. I have long admired her.
Hello
She was such a lovely woman!
Hello
What a Lady, What a Life, What a Legacy! She continues to shine her light bright through so many others who have come after her! Ubuntu, Asé
fabulous lady !
I really enjoyed listening to her in this video. I did my first paper in grade school on Her. Those she has passed her memory and wisdom live on.❤
Were in in a school in the south?
I loved this lady! My political awareness came around the time of her run for the Presidential nomination. Love this post.
Um... Katha , you don't look like you were old enough to vote then...
+Lechiffresix six I'm 61. No, my first time to vote was 1972 but I was politically aware and active by 1968 when I was a youth volunteer for Bobby Kennedy in the primaries. Thank you.
Kathleen Pfeiffer 61 ? my mistake, No offense but I thought you were in your late 40s max.People that age were barely out of Kindergarten when Mrs Chisholm made history. but you've been involved since the early 70s . you are very committed.We need more of this today.
+Lechiffresix six You just made my day! I thank Lady Clairol LOL. I agree we need that sort of commitment and involvement. Too many battles still to be fought and some re-fought, all our gains need to be guarded. I had hoped things would have improved more by now but that doesn't mean giving up. Being silent and uninvolved make it easier for wrongs to continue.
Hello Kathleen how are you doing?
I remember when I was in grammar school. We were taught about Shirley. Fortunately, I was in school at that time to learn about her. 😊
What a great smart lady👍🏽In 1972 I was a Senior in High School and I was so inspired by her that I wrote a paper on her in my Afro History class. First class lady 🌹
I love her even more after seeing this clip. I'm so glad that I came across this.
I adore this woman so much. A beautiful portrait of her hangs in my home. She was brilliant.
This movie was an absolutely amazing showing the life of Shirley Chisholm. But like then, we have today Black people black me not supporting the black woman and her endeavors or any black person in their endeavors. We are more against each other today than you all were in her day.
I agree. Even more so today than back then smh.
Unity is an issue WE as AF-AM have for face and deal with. It all started in slavery, taught to spy on one another, envy one another, think we were better than one another. Enslave, brainwashed habits are hard to break. Those who would ignorantly say, "Slavery is over!" you are just uneducated in the American Political System of Government. WE must teach our children, at home, church and civic organization bc they will not get it in schools.
What a wonderful woman. She shows how humour can be a powerful weapon!
Trailblazers like Ms Shirley is so much inspiration what these great people do is keep us inspired ❤
I was very young when Ms. Chisholm was campaigning. I remember, though, my grandmother thought very highly of her. Now I see why! Such a wonderful, remarkable woman!!!
A brave strong woman.

wow... i so wish she had lived to see Harris take that oath... Ms. Chisholm laid the groundwork for every woman, but ESPECIALLY for women of colour.
I am just amazed at such a strong woman. Why haven't we heard of her before? The first woman to be a Presidential nominee, incredible. I just love her story and I am grateful that I saw this video.
She didnt win the nomination but she was a candidate. McGovern won that primary
and what happen to McGovern.Welcome Black Lives Matter, She was beaten by the DNC.
Hello sung
Because schools do not teach this. I met her and have a photo with her in 1981. She was extremely popular in NYC.
To say modern education is lacking is a gross understatement. We learned about her in the 1970s in elementary school.
Congress woman Shirley Chisholm "THANK YOU"
And prophetic too - Shirley knew that “before a woman can become President of this country, a Woman has to be Vice President first”
I could hear the Bajan accent from the first sentence she spoke. What a legend Ms. Shirley was ❤
A big thank you to this Queen. 👑🙏🏾 May she continue to rest in peace.
What a Queen! May her legacy live on!!
Heard her speak at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Atlanta in 1981. She was an electric speaker. Extremely charismatic.
This why I love my black peoples ❤❤
I hope Regina King gets her second Oscar nomination for her portrayal of this remarkable icon!!🙏🙏🙏
Wow!!! I had to do book reports on her. ITS AMAZING to hear her stories.
Bet you weren't in a southern school.
Wow! Shirley Chisholm predicted the order perfectly. ❤
😂😂😂 Georgia delegation table 😂😂😂THIS WAS SO GOOD
I saw Shirley Chisholm at Wyandotte High School in the 70s at a speaking engagement. "Unbought and Unbossed". A true pioneer!
Awesome woman, Shirley Chisholm predicted there would be a VP woman first before a woman president in office. She was tough and she didn't back down to those systemic racism.. Love her sense of humor.
Service is the rent you pay to live in the world. My favorite Shirley quote.
In service to and support of AF-AMs is vital to the survival of the people. Step up and step in to service and support. National Day of Service was a good start!
Coughing is still used today and when I know it's towards me I cough louder then it's done.
An absolute joy to listen to and such a gracious lady.
this is a woman that change black people and white people thank God for this woman and my she Rest In Peace without her we would be nothing today.and she is Hilarious and Gracious and u are right she is Alex Daniel
She has the dignity, poise and wry humor of a true leader and survivor! The shame of those so called "representatives" treating her so badly. But history always sets the record straight- she's getting a movie made about her and those others have faded away. You're still a force to be reckoned with, Madame Chisholm!
Very positive, articulate,mighty,😭🎨💋😐😔🤩😞🧐🔮🔮🌕♂️♂️🧈🔮 beautiful icon ,we miss her.
Queen Shirley. Mmm Love ur stories
She was a queen! I have very few heroines/ heroes, but she has always been on my list.
I'm glad I took the time to watch this video
Such a visionary and an intellect...predicts woman would be Vice President FIRST its 2020 and she’s could be more right! WOW!!
Amazing I did not know very much about her until Regina King 🎉. Love this interview. They ❤❤ give them the business business.
She said so many things that are now coming to pass.
God Bless Mother Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm! Sistah Regina King and her Sister did an Amazing job on the Netflix movie!
YES! Stepping up, serving and shinning the light on AF-AM women is very much needed. America wants to overlook those AF-AM women who made great strides in history! They prefer to shine the light on the so called "welfare queen", the angry, bitter black woman! Degrading is what they do for breakfast!
Growing up my Mom made sure we knew about Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. Mom later became the Whip of the State House in MO.
