Uzo Aduba picked up (figuratively) her third Emmy at the 72nd Emmy Awards on September 20. Her win in the category Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie came for playing Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman elected to Congress, in the FX miniseries Mrs. America, about the 1970s push for the Equal Rights Amendment—and the campaign to defeat it.
Aduba (CFA’05) has been nominated for an Emmy four times, winning previously for her work in Orange Is the New Black in 2014 and 2015.
