dref_1967 The DREF Sister Scholars’ National Reading Circle will host a virtual book discussion on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, 7:30-9:00pm EST. This year’s event will feature SHIRLEY CHISHOLM IN HER OWN WORDS, Speeches and Writings Edited by DREF Sister Scholar, Zinga A. Fraser, Ph.D.

In the midst of her trailblazing twenty-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives,
Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once declared, “Everyone—with the exception of the
Black woman herself—has been interpreting the Black woman.” Now, in this
groundbreaking work edited by Zinga A. Fraser, the leading scholar dedicated to the
study of Chisholm’s legacy, SHIRLEY CHISHOLM IN HER OWN WORDS gives readers
a rare opportunity to engage with the late Congresswoman’s powerful ideas in her own
voice. 

Though many Americans are familiar with Chisholm’s historical firsts—the first Black
woman in Congress, the first woman and African American to run for president with
either major party—this long-overdue treatment of her work establishes Chisholm as an
unparalleled public intellectual and Black feminist both in her time and now. The book
not only contextualizes the Civil Rights and Black Power era, it also provides timeless
wisdom on issues that are exceedingly relevant in our current moment. 

Featuring a thought-provoking introduction by Fraser, SHIRLEY CHISHOLM IN HER OWN WORDS introduces a new generation to one of the most impactful proponents of democracy in
America; an inspiring orator who made a generation revise their dreams and rethink
their possibilities.

You can order the book from Amazon and get ready for the book discussion on
December 3rd @ 7:30 - 9:00p.m. EST.  Join by using this Zoom link:  TINYURL.COM/CHISHOLMINHEROWNWORDS
