Danielle Mastrion brought Shirley Chisolm's legacy to life through art. This new park honors Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, an educator, former representative of the 12th Congressional district in New York and the first African American woman to run for President. The park is a signature project which calls for 34 new or improved parks, community gardens, playgrounds and recreation centers. Danielle had 5 days to finish this tribute mural to Brooklyn’s own Shirley Chisholm.
