Celebrating the Legacy of
Hon. Shirley Anita Chisholm
Honoring Community and Compassion
This year, in lieu of our annual Salute to Hollywood & Excellence Gala and the CaribbeanLens Film Festival-Hollywood Edition, we have chosen to dedicate an inspiring evening to commemorate the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of trailblazing icon, the late Hon. Shirley Chisholm.
Honoring a Pioneering Spirit
Shirley Chisholm broke barriers and shattered glass ceilings, becoming the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first woman to seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States. Her vision, courage, and relentless commitment to justice and equality have left an indelible mark on history, serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come.
A Gathering of Community and Culture
In the spirit of solidarity, this event will also serve as an entertainment industry fundraiser for two deserving victims of the recent Altadena fire: Rhythms of the Village and CHO's very own Creative Director Anna Schlobohm de Cruder. Together, let us extend our support and compassion to help rebuild what was lost.
Adding to the evening’s significance, there will be a SPECIAL PERFORMANCE by RHYTHMS OF THE VILLAGE, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of African drumming and its vibrant contributions to the American society.
Saturday, June 28, 2025
