Tuesday — The Denver Public Library continues its series “African-Americans in Politics: Film From Then to Now!” with “Chisholm – 72.” Shirley Chisholm arrived on Capitol Hill in 1968, the first African- American woman elected to Congress. In 1972, the New York representative ran for president. Not, says documentarian Shola Lynch, necessarily to win, but because Chisholm wanted to bring more people into the process. Thirty-six years later, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both inheritors of Chisholm’s trailblazing. Tues., 6:30 p.m., Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton St., 720-865-2401. — Lisa Kennedy
