Upon the 50 year anniversary of the historical events of these two famous Black women (Chisholm's campaign for the presidency of the U.S. and Davis's Trial for conspiracy to murder); comes "1972" by highly acclaimed, independent audio drama creator, Yhane Washington Smith. "1972" is an eight-part historical audio drama series detailing the powerful story of these two amazing Black women in U.S. history.
The show portrays the true story of Black women empowerment; of two African American women who refused to be ignored and silenced by a society too comfortable with the status quo.
Our goal is for you to be entertained, educated, empowered, uplifted and love the amazing stories of Black women in U.S. history!
