The special on Shirley Chisolm on PBS is great.....

but, look at the material they had to work with!

"You can't accept things as they seem to be" (sic) --what a great woman!

1. Wasn't that fantastic?

The footage was really great and brought back a lot of memeories too.

2. Yes, certainly a lot of memories! The women's marches.....

etc

3. I am crying over that documentary.

To think it's 2004, and still no black and/or woman president. It's so fucking shameful. No openly GLBT person, either.
This is not a democracy...I don't know what to call it, but it sure ain't a democracy.

4. Unbought and Unbossed? I'll have to look for a rerun

5. If only we had more Dems like her. If only.....

I believe they are out there but we need support them when they show up!
This documentary shows a lot about our phony democracy.

6. I saw that too.

Great program. PBS is really one of the few TV stations I watch anymore (not having cable makes that a hell of a lot easier also).
