This season we tell the stories of black women, who were forgotten and weren't given a spotlight in our history textbooks. But this season we change that and tell the stories of black women who have made history in the fields of politics, music, literature and fashion. In a series we're calling: The History of Black Women Breaking the Glass Ceiling!

We kick start this season with the story of Shirley Chisholm. Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman to very win a seat in Congress. Throughout her career, she would experience sexist and racist comments. Even when she had to deal with these comments, she still succeeded and was an extremely effective politician. She was a hardcore progressive and before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came into the scene, it was Chisholm who was the talk of the town.

The History Of Black Women Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Shirley Chisholm Story Part 1

Process / experience 

"The 901 oscillators are very unique and rich in their subtle fluctuations, turning pitch sequences into elastic cascades of slightly variable pitch, felt but hardly heard. 

The analog distortion from pushing the gain on the mixer is extremely listenable.

The fixed filter bank is a transformational portal. 

The instrument calls back to a simpler, deeper era of sonic exploration, one where nuance is everything. A compact but very capable system that communicated with my eurorack sequencers and modulation sources with ease."    -Bana Haffar
