Clinton's Speech Interrupted By Black Lives Matter


On Friday at an historically black college in Atlanta the #blacklivesmatter movement interrupted Hilary Clinton's speech chanting "black lives matter". The movement says they have been waiting for weeks for the Clinton administration to address issues in the African American community. They want to force Clinton to directly address the fact that black people have been mistreated, harassed, beaten, and murdered by the police on a daily basis. The protesters were escorted out of the building. After their speech Clinton called it an adventure as she walked off stage with LaDavia Drane, her director of African American outreach. Clinton did not meet with the protesters after the speech.
