Bernie Sanders Holds First Campaign Rally in South Carolina

HeadlineAug 24, 2015

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders held his first campaign rally in South Carolina Friday night. The move was seen as an attempt by Sanders to court black voters, who still overwhelmingly support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. At the event, Sanders invoked the names of men and women who have been killed in police or jail custody in recent years.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “We must be clear that when we’re talking about racism, we are talking about Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Rekia Boyd. We are talking about Eric Garner. We’re talking about Walter Scott, Freddie Gray and many others, many, many others over the years whose names we do not know. And these people died unnecessarily and wrongly at the hands of police officers or in police custody. That must change.”
