Hillary Clinton yelled over chanting Black Lives Matter activists during her speech at an African Americans for Hillary event in Atlanta on Friday afternoon, possibly their most contentious exchange to date.

The Black Lives Matter activists began singing soon into Clinton's speech. As the crowd began to chant "Black Lives Matter!" she acknowledged them stating, "Yes Black Lives Matter! And I am going to say some things to prove that black lives do matter!"

As the Democratic front-runner went on to talk about her support of the African American community and the civil rights movement, the Black Lives Matter activists sang over her speech. Many of those in the crowd reportedly could barely hear the presidential candidate, even though she was screaming her words.
