I am glad that the brilliant Ms Shirley Chisholm is being acknowledged. Thank you Regina!

[@justmi8744]

Definitely made me cry at the end 😢 when the sister called her and said I love you and when everyone folded on her 💔 excellent movie. Regina was perfect for it.

[@chicagorealtynow]

It was a little more to that piece. Her sister said something to Shirley like.. 'Papa was right, you are special.' That takes some real guts when you have to admit you were wrong all along.

[@chriscurry4574]

I still watch her speeches and interviews. I remember her when I was in 8th grade. Loved everything about her.

Regina King did an excellent job🎉🎉🎉

[@gpgwapo]

I really love this movie awesome 💪🏿🙌🏾💯🎯😎

[@chicagorealtynow]

I had no idea Diahann Carroll's involvement. So happy that she used her stardom to give back. Why were we not taught about Shirley in school?

[@c.o.lbascom9492]

To be fair many people cannot pull off a Bajan accent, dont know if they could have afforded Rihanna for the role lol. But i trust Regina's class has done the role justice. I look forward to watching the movie.

[@tammied1858]

Fantastic Black History Film. Thunder & Lightening 🌩

[@hattyhenben]

Forty-two five!!!!!!

[@denalahall4339]

🇧🇧🇧🇧🇺🇸🇬🇾 Brooklyn Born, Bajan Raised, Bajan & Guyanese🇧🇧🇬🇾 Parentage

[@yupster3745]

Why give her a horrible Jamaican accent rather than a barbadian accent though? Lol...she spoke with bits of bajan not jamaican

[@Wordplay80]

Well I think she did the best she could. Lol! Some actors can do dialect better than others. The movie was excellent and made me learn a lot that I didn’t know about her. Brilliant and hats off to her for pulling it off
