DESCRIPTION:With director Shola Lynch in person \n\n\nDir. Shola Lynch. 200
 4\, 76 mins. Digital projection. Just a few years after becoming the first
  black woman elected to the United States Congress\, and more than a decad
 e before the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton rose to the national s
 tage\, New York Democrat Shirley Chisholm sought to become the first Afric
 an American of either gender to seek a major party's presidential nominati
 on. As recounted in Shola Lynch’s fascinating documentary\, even though th
 e political establishment shunned Chisholm\, she persisted\, seeing the pr
 esidential race as an opportunity to draw people to politics that traditio
 nally did not participate. In her words\, “I ran for the presidency\, desp
 ite hopeless odds\, to demonstrate sheer will and refusal to accept the st
 atus quo.” Shola Lynch\, filmmaker and curator at the Schomburg Center for
  Research in Black Culture\, will be present for a post-screening discussi
 on. \n\n\nTickets: $12 (Free for members at the Film Lover and MoMI Kids P
 remium levels and above). Order tickets online. (Members may contact membe
