Oh my goodness! Shirley Chisolm!! This is my first time seeing/hearing her speak. This is incredible. Thank you so much for this footage!

I was 14 back then and a leftist political junkie. I loved Shirley Chisholm and greatly respected her determination to stay in the race, even though I was a strongly pro-McGovern person. And in this one interview, she outlined more specific positions and addressed more genuine isuues than other candidates generally did during an entire campaign.

Thank you so much for posting Shirley Chisholm ❤❤❤. Great, great lady. Too bad she's not around today.

[@AdamHicksAE7KN]

Wow! Excellent find here! Thank you for uploading.

Nat Hentoff was a jazz/music critic and historian, among other accomplishments (he wrote for New York's VILLAGE VOICE at the time).

I remember, as a 14-year-old, joining my Mother in watching Shirley Chisholm during her Presidential campaign debate both Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern. And I recall about halfway through the debate my Mother turning to me and saying, “I think she’s smarter than both of them.” The taped interview session here offers further proof of that. I find it particularly sad that 52 years later, a majority of American voters would still cast their ballots for someone whom George Will once insightfully termed “a bloviating ignoramus” over a highly qualified candidate in the mold of a Shirley Chisholm.

You find it sad that people disagree with you?

Thank you for this historic find! We have been grateful to have these tapes saved, especially as old as this. Shirley Chisholm was a great woman, although I can’t help but notice she sounds an awful lot like Mike Tyson! Someone should’ve asked her if she had any tattoos!

😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol ! Dude, your comment had me rofl! 👍

[@alangray9117]

​@@shawnmalone9711she had at least a hundred IQ points above Tyson 😂😂😂. Mike ain't the sharpest pencil in the box.

Back in the days when the Fairness Doctrine was still the law. Unlike the misinformation shit machine that Elon Musk has made.

[@alangray9117]

Ronald Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine in 1985.

This is quite a historic find

Everything in the 70's was named with a year suffix. It was called the Suffix Policy'70.

[@brianarbenz1329]

That may be from the influence of the upcoming bicentennial. The year '76 is from a phrase, "Spirit of '76." That bled over into all the decades' years.

Yeah and “Match Game ‘73”

[@brianarbenz1329]

@@a.b.s_productions The Dragnet revival in the late '60s was called "Dragnet 1969," with the four digits, so that backs the idea that it was a '70s thing. I also think the '70s saw a faster paced on-air style, as switching from one segment to another became smoother and faster. That led to a speeded up audience experience, and contributed to shorter slogans.

20:41 Taylor Hardin representing Governor George Wallace. This must have aired after George Wallace got shot on May 15, 1972. Thats the reason why Wallace was not there for the debate. the announcer mentioned this was recorded before the Democratic convention in July of 1972.

19:51- Roger Bowen.

Good thing, as ARNIE had been canceled
