    I’m so glad a light is being shined on Mrs Chisholm at this time. Regina King did a great job playing her! I’m 55 and didn’t learn anything about her in school.

    "...it's coming and they won't be able to stop it; it's coming!" Boy oh boy was that ever a more prophetic statement. Nearly 50 years later a Black woman Sits in the office of the Vice President of the United States while Standing on the shoulders of Mrs. Shirley Chisholm. Thank You Queen ❤🙏🏽💐❤

      It's her dialect that she modified in order to become more articulate with speaking English.
