The initiative, developed over two years by the Shirley Chisholm Cultural Institute, celebrates shared history, economic development, and the cultural contributions of the Barbadian diaspora in New York City.
In recognition of Chisholm's centennial and her enduring impact, the New York City Council passed Resolution 280, officially designating November 30 as Shirley Chisholm Day.
The proclamation was presented to the SCCI for its work preserving and sharing Chisholm's legacy, with a focus on inspiring young women of color to break barriers.
The Shirley Chisholm Cultural Institute continues to advance her vision of education, empowerment, representation, cultural awareness and advocacy, ensuring Chisholm's contributions inspire future generations.
