ASALH WILL HOLD INNOVATIVE VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY CELEBRATING THE 2023 BLACK HISTORY THEME: BLACK RESISTANCE

Shirley Chisholm (U.S. Library of Congress)

This Festival Session features Dominique Brown, Odell Ruffin, Lyn Dyson and Charlotte Plummer

The in-person matinee performance of “Odell Ruffin’s Campaign ‘72” is a new critically-praised play based on the life of Shirley Chisholm.  Chisholm defied expectations when she became the first Black woman to run a major campaign for President in 1972.  The matinee play will be followed by a dynamic discussion panel on what planners are calling “The Chisholm Effect.” “Odell Ruffin’s Campaign ‘72” is produced by the Multi-Media Training Institute, a DC-based non-profit training, and production company for young adults.
