A look back at 20th century African American pop culture: advertising, film, music, fashion and anything else I can get my hands on. All in good fun.

Soul for Sister Shirley
The Soul Closet opens the week with a little respect for the great unbossed and unbought Shirley Chisholm, who, in 1968, was the first black woman elected to Congress, and the first black person to run for president under a major political party. She died in 2005 at age 80.
