Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton penned an op-ed in Ebony magazine explaining how she would combat racism and address economic, social and education issues for African-American communities on Friday morning.
The op-ed was published prior to her appearance at the South Carolina Democratic Party forum, in a state with a significant African-American voting population.
"[M]ore than half a century after Rosa Parks sat and Dr. King marched and John Lewis bled, race still plays too big a part in determining who gets ahead in America — and who gets left behind," Clinton wrote.
