The late Shirley Chisholm, who was the first Black woman ever elected to Congress, would have turned 100 years old later this year.

Chisholm was a political trailblazer, paving the way for future generations of Black leaders, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

To commemorate her centennial birthday, a new exhibit from the Museum of the City of New York and the Shirley Chisholm Project at Brooklyn College is honoring her life and legacy.

The exhibit is called “Changing the Face of Democracy: Shirley Chisholm at 100.”

It opened in July and is on view through July 2025.

Sarah Seidman, the curator of social activism at the Museum of the City of New York, and Zinga Fraser, the director of the Shirley Chisholm Project at Brooklyn College, joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Thursday to discuss more.

Seidman and Fraser are the co-curators of the exhibit.
