On Wednesday, March 5 at 6 PM, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso will host “The Chisholm Effect,” an event honoring the legacy of former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, in partnership with the Brooklyn Alumnae Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta. The evening celebration is free, open to the public, and will feature a panel of the late Congresswoman’s peers, including former Congressman Ed Towns Jr. and former Assembly Member Annette Robinson.
“Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm was the definition of a trailblazer whose story exemplifies our borough, and our country, at its best,” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. “Her legacy is an inspiration for current and future generations of public servants, and we have a responsibility to ensure her memory is strong and alive in Brooklyn. It is a great privilege to be joined by two legends of public service, former Congressman Ed Towns and former Assembly Member Annette Robinson, who will help us to do just that. I’m so excited to bring Brooklynites together to honor one of the most exemplary Congressmembers to have served Brooklyn and our country with great distinction.”
