Speaking to several hundred black college students in Georgia, Hillary Clinton on Friday promised to fight racial profiling, private prisons and the practice of asking about criminal records on initial job applications.

The former secretary of state and Democratic front-runner spoke over loud chants of “black lives matter” and opposing cries of “let her talk” as protesters interrupted the event at Clark Atlanta University.
