He was such a wonderful actor and so musically gifted, as well. I loved him in so many roles, but he will always be remembered as Captain Daniels to me! This film looks wonderful - I love Regina King and have a lot of time for John Ridley. It will be an honor to see Mr. Reddick one more time, in such great company, and teaching America about an incredible woman who doesn’t get the historical recognition that she deserves. Thank you all who were involved in this project, and RIP, Ms. Chisholm and Mr. Reddick. 🙏🏽
"You gonna do all that? A schoolteacher from Brooklyn?" "Harrit was just a slave. Rosa was just a domestic. What is it that YOU do for a living again?" That has got to be my favorite line from this trailer. 👏
@@dee27206 You are going to excuse me, but the History does NOT have color nor is it about color, but I see that you were educated as a white woman as you have been educated, assuming that the story has color. Well, that is NOT the case, in fact, This story. This story teaches us, whites, blacks, yellows, reds, and those who live in other galaxies, that there was a woman who had the balls to break with many stereotypes such as those of your self-definition that HISTORY must be studied. , from a premium with two colors. White or black. Lady, whoever you want, let it be you.
What does that mean when it comes to folks saying a public figure either politician athlete or musician is not talked about enough? First of all Shirley made national news all over the place when she ran for president. There are a ton of documentaries about her especially a big pbs doc about her campaign. Heck folks don't talk about sojourner Truth . Booker t and a whole bunch of them . U can't talk about everyone at once . I just think that is just goofy thinking
@@marskeins Yes it does. Oscars made it a rule after Netflix Roma was nominated that a movie has to have a theatrical release in order to be nominated.
There’s a really great Shirley Chisholm centric episode in the 2020 miniseries Mrs America. The third episode focuses on her presidential bid, and Uzo Aduba won the Emmy for her performance as Shirley. If you haven’t seen it, would highly recommend the whole series (primarily focusing on Phylis Schlafly and her crossings with women such as Shirley, Gloria Steinem, etc), but the third episode could technically be watched on it’s own for the Shirley story. But I agree with you here, hopefully this film brings her story to a wider audience, as I was actually wholly unaware of her until the Schlafly miniseries.
She ran when Gary Indiana in 1972 had a National Black Platform Agenda. She was a way to get black people to focus on individual politicians BUT NOT HAVE BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA have a National Platform that wasn't funded by white campaign contributions like our black politicians are. Gary Indiana and the Black Panthers 10 point program were a way better path than Shirley Chisolm to economically help us.
In fact Martin Luther King 5 years earlier also had a Federal Government Platform in regards to Education, Housing and Employment. It is in the back of the book he wrote Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos Or Community? Barnes and Noble Bookstore sells it. Some libraries have it. In other words Shirley Chisolm was a way watered down black political movement. She didn't want to get killed like Martin Luther King and the Black Panthers.
Yeah, that is about as incorrect a statement as it comes. Did you even watch the movie? She was an inept politician and had horrible policies. You are just saying this because it's 2024 and we have to make it seem that anyone who is a minority is some kind of hero.
@@tosheatower Boy, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she was awarded numerous honorary degrees, she's in the Nat'l Women's Hall of Fame, she is honored on a USA postage stamp, she has a state park named after her in NY state, she was a member of the NY state assembly, etc etc. Shirley cared for the poor and downtrodden. She's a saint.
I'm so excited about this! Shirley Chisholm is one of my sheros. She is such a trailblazer and real inspiration. If you have not seen the documentary about her running for president called "Unbought and Unbossed," I highly encourage you to watch that in addition to this film.
Never thought I would ever get to see a documentry on Shirley Chisholm. Barbadian and island girl she was. It is a shame her influences and impact is not taught here in Barbados' schools
Well, it's about time this story gets told on a modern screen Yes...Shirley. Welcome back, Regina King. You took a well needed break after a tragic situation and came back winning.
the fact that I never heard about her growing up in US History classes is appalling. So happy her story is finally being shared, I would've voted for her in a heartbeat and I'm so excited to see Regina play her!
There are many things they will not tell you about in history .WHY? because they would ashamed and that's why they don't want history to be thought and if they do ,many things would be left out.

I was just a little white girl who got to hear her speak in person during her campaign, but I couldn't help but be moved by her incredible life force. A very special person and I hope this movie honors her.
@@adey126, Netflix was blocked form releasing movies in theaters (so far recently, only the Bayard Rustin bio-pic has been released in theater, IIRC) so it's not the company's fault about this; get pissy with the other film studio for doing this. Besides, the film's good on its own for King to win an Emmy for her performance.
Regina was outstanding in her performance of Shirley. What a remarkable actress. What a wonderful movie. I just saw it and loved it. Regina was simply amazing.
I was 12 years old in 1972 and I remember that election very well with the Republican President Richard Nixon winning in a landslide over Democratic nominee George McGovern. However, it seemed to me that those two major candidates had to share the headlines with Shirley Chisholm and George Wallace, who were at the polar opposite ends of the political spectrum. Wallace was a segregationist from Alabama, and Chisholm was a liberal supporter of minority civil rights and women's rights from Brooklyn, New York. They seemed to spark more political debate and general buzz at the that time than the two major candidates. Wallace's campaign effectively ended when he was shot on May 15, 1972 in Maryland by Arthur Bremer, and Wallace remained paralyzed below the waist for the rest of his life. Following the assassination attempt, Shirley Chisholm visited Wallace at the hospital. Despite their ideological differences and the opposition of Chisholm's constituents, Chisholm felt visiting Wallace was the humane thing to do. In the late 1970s, Wallace announced that he became a born-again Christian, and moderated his views on race, renouncing his past support for segregation.
I didn't even know this was in the works. Yet I've BEEN here for it. Regina King taking on the role of Shirley Chisholm. Huge shoes to fill. But if it can be done, Regina's the one to do it. I like the choices you make, Sistah. I'm going to put the premier date on my calendar.
I remember first hearing about Shirley Chisholm as a kid from one of Biz Markie lyrics,"On the mic and like make you co-op- -erate with the rhythm, that is what I give 'em Reagan is the Pres but I voted for Shirley Chisholm"
Yes! Ms Regina, I've been waiting for your return. This looks fantastic and the cast looks amazing. This being one of Lance Riddick's final movies makes this even more special. ❤❤
Just realized this was one of Lance Reddick’s last roles 😢
I loved his in John Wick -- wish his character had not been killed off.
Gone way too soon

@@coraggio93 just bad timing!
also he already film a small supporting role in Ballerina the upcoming John wick spinoff film
Regina got Shirley's accent down. I can't wait. RIP Lance Reddick.
Not at all. At least they made the effort to portray her WITH an accent!
She sounds Jamaican.
@@nicklebaby Hollywood commercial Jamaican
No she did not😂😂 love Regina but that accent dont sound authentic at all
It's an American accent with a bajan twang
This finna be gooood. Regina don’t miss! 🔥
No she don't
Facts
IKR!
Ya damn simp
EVER !!!
"You gonna do all that? A schoolteacher from Brooklyn?"
"Harrit was just a slave. Rosa was just a domestic. What is it that YOU do for a living again?"
That has got to be my favorite line from this trailer. 👏
For me is this People of 'America are watching us."
Agreed! She set the record straight!

I have been waiting on this! Shirley is not talked about enough. Regina is perfect for this btw.

I agree!!!!!
What’s to talk about?
Neither are the Black Republican Men elected in the 1800’s
CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS- In 2016 I had to educate some of my younger coworkers who thought Hillary Clinton was the first female Presidential candidate!!
Same 🤦🏾♀️.....
H@@empressonthethrone
actually that title belong to Victoria Claflin Woodhull but Shirley was the first black female though.
Clinton was the first real candidate

Regina is Shirley Chisholm!!! Is there any role she can't do? No, no I said No....An actors actor!!!! Icon personified!!!!❤
Actress..❤..
RIP Lance Reddick
Can’t wait to see this. Regina King bouncing back from tragedy, and Lance Reddick in one of his final roles. ❤️🙏🏿
Shirley Chisholm was a fierce lady. Her story needs to live on.
I smell Oscar nomination number two for Regina King!!!!❤❤❤
Only if Netflix releases it in theaters.
@@adey126it doesn't have to be released in theaters for it to receive Oscar nominations.
@@marskeins Yes it does. Oscars made it a rule after Netflix Roma was nominated that a movie has to have a theatrical release in order to be nominated.
don’t forget the Emmy’s!!
Awards are extra...as long as Regina is making films we win!
Very happy to see Terrence Howard acting, mayne. 🔥🔥🔥
Me too❤
He’s whack
Seeing him assures me this is a quality movie! ❤️🔥
This might be one of his last roles
You should see his last movie Showdown At The Grand. He's great in it!
Regina King was phenomenal in ‘Watchmen’. I’m so happy she is back in a big role 😊👍
I’m so glad they’re finally telling her story!! So many people don’t know about her, and it’s about time they do!!

@@davidsinnott7160mrs America is soooo good.
I never even heard of her
But I'm glad Virginia is playing her part in this movie.She's gonna do what they is gonna be Fire😂
Cringe. She didnt even win 😭
Informing USA about some loser of color is no win for anyone.
Lets just hope the trend remains the same. Less diversity!
Great
This is just amazing, I'm anticipating this. Who's with me??❤❤❤❤
ME! 😉🤗
We need more people like Shirley Chisholm.

A phenomenal woman portraying another phenomenal woman. I luv it
Welcome Back Regina!!! We have missed you! This lady is strong and we keep u in prayer
ANYTHING REGINA KING!❤ IM There! Rest in peace her Son and Lance Reddick
Regina King is simply a must-see in anything, but when it's a role like this, it rises to a whole other level.
It's great to see Regina back on screen.
Exactly. Can't wait to watch this.
It's about time Regina is given her chance to shine. Shes a great actress who to me has been underrated

I only wish my grandmother was still here to see Regina tell Shirley Chisholm's story.
I’m proud to be the cousin of this great woman. May her legacy be remembered forever.
Get ready to put another Emmy Award on her mantle!!!! She's going to do Ms. Chisholm PROUD.
Can't wait for this! A story that needs to be told and I'm so glad to see Regina back on the screen!
That's some seriously excellent accent work from Ms. King! It is not at all easy to capture that old-timey voice. Yet more great work from this actor
What accent is she using?
Watching anything Queen Regina in. Love her !
All love for Regina !!
Regina King can do anything. I've been a fan since she did "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith. She is a marvelous actress.
Agreed. I absolutely loved her performance here
I know we in a different time and everything, but we need movies like this in the theater
Regina is a brilliant actor!❤
Regina King!
How could you not watch this!?
I want to say how I am still praying for her, and I am so happy that she has returned to do a movie.
I was just a little white girl who got to hear her speak in person during her campaign, but I couldn't help but be moved by her incredible life force. A very special person and I hope this movie honors her.
We need to be reminded of this great woman, especially with everything going on with politics today. Beautiful to see Regina in another project.
I hope Netflix releases this in theaters so King can get nominated. This looks amazing.
She'll have to settle for being nominated for an Emmy.

This looks like just the role Regina K. needed. So glad to see her working again. It looks like PERFECTION. Can't wait.
