that the two films could be entries in the same anthology series. Both shed light on influential Black political figures too long undervalued in historical accounts of their era.

The schoolteacher whose roots were split between Brooklyn and Barbados broke the glass ceiling and remained in office for seven terms, representing the 12th congressional district of New York until 1983. Other key appointments include Stanley Townsend as the campaign manager with whom she would clash, and Cornell law student Robert Gottlieb , her admiring former intern, as youth coordinator, a strategic part of the campaign given that the 1972 presidential election was the first after the voting age was lowered to 18.
One of the more shocking roadblocks in Chisholm’s path is the networks’ efforts to block her from participating in televised debates and her resulting lawsuit calling their obstruction a violation of an FCC mandate. That gives Hedges’ Gottlieb a chance to prove himself, foreshadowing the power trial and appellate attorney he was to become.
