Regina King returns as “Shirley” March 22nd on Netflix.
Written and directed by John Ridley, “Shirley” tells the story of the first black Congresswoman and political icon, Shirley Chisholm, and her trailblazing run for president of the U.S.
It chronicles her audacious, boundary-breaking 1972 presidential campaign.
In 1968, the Brooklyn native made history as the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress.
“Shirley” also stars Lance Reddick, Lucas Hedges, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Christina Jackson, Michael Cherrie, Dorian Crossmond Missick, Amirah Vann, W. Earl Brown, Brad James, and Reina King, with André Holland and Terrence Howard.
