Hillary Just Played The Race Card Against These 4 Republicans In A Major Way

(Before It's News)

On a podium Thursday, Hillary Clinton received the Barbara Jordan Public Private Leadership Award in Houston at Texas Southern University. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee joined the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law to present this first ever award of its kind. Clinton was its first recipient.

In one of her first speeches since throwing her hat into the ring for the presidency, Clinton took the opportunity to discuss the issue of disempowerment and the continuous ‘disenfranchisement’ of people of color, lower economic status, and youth — topics she undoubtedly felt are going to be paramount in the upcoming election.

In her speech, she used the platform to call attention to current policy proposals that are set to potentially affect the voting rights of American citizens. She has previously stated that she would like to see at least 20 days of early voting, as well as automatic voter registration for citizens at the age of 18, with the ability to opt out.

The former secretary of state also said that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie both cut back early voting and have made it harder for college students to vote. Finally, she took aim at Jeb Bush for his purge of voters while he was governor of Florida during the presidential election of 2000.

Clinton spoke with fervor and resolve at a university that has been historically black. She spoke about issues that are set to affect the black community. She hit hard at her opponents early in the race, letting them know that she is ready for battle. She looks to be preparing to appeal to the vote that she will need if she plans on replacing President Obama.
