I never thought of Diahann Carroll and Shirley Chisholm knowing each other, let alone Carroll holding a fundraiser for Chisholm’s presidential campaign! Juanita Tolliver wove together the community building as well of the challenges of the Chisholm campaign, with the Harris campaign. She also emphasized the how solidarity and lack thereof played a pivotal role for black women in politics. This book shows us that we haven’t come as far as we hoped to, but we have the tools to help us get further.
