and in that right, both diahann carroll and shirley chisholm were kindred spirits, and diahann carrollolm was being dismissed and denigrated by members of the press, by political leaders, including leaders within the democratic party, who did not see value in what she was doing. >> but carroll saw the power and possibility of what it meant to break the ranks, to take it further, to chart a new path similar to what they've done in their respective careers. and what i appreciate most about this elegant, lavish party was how it brought together. it brought together people you would never expect to share space from. music industry icon and legend berry gordy rubbing shoulders with revolutionary activists and co-founder of the black panther party, huey newton, or oscar award winning actress goldie hawn. those people came because diahann carroll was exposing them to the power and possibility presented within chisholm's campaign and her policy ideas, and by being in that shared space, they represented the coalition that chisholm was working to build, as imperfect as it was. and that's how i s
