All I can say is that I'm a shaker-upper. That's exactly what I am. --Shirley Chisholm

When Shirley Chisholm announced her candidacy for the democratic presidential nomination in 1972, she became the first Black candidate for a major party's nomination--just four years after she had become the first ever Black woman in Congress. In this collection of interviews stretching from her first major profile to her final interview, this icon of iron will and unshakeable political principle reveals how her disciplined and demanding childhood and the expectations placed on her by the public shaped her into a force of nature and the ultimate people's politician--tirelessly advocating in the halls of government for the poorest and most disadvantaged of the nation.
