Bill Clinton speaks for HRC at historic black college in Dallas (great picture included)

History was made on the Paul Quinn College campus Monday when former U.S. President Bill Clinton addressed students at the historically black college in south Oak Cliff.

It was one of two stops Clinton made in Texas Monday, campaigning for Hillary Clinton. He talked about how Hillary Clinton had success working with Republicans to get legislation passed.

The former president stressed the importance of equal pay and equal employment opportunities.

He also talked about the need for universal background checks, adding that he had a .22 caliber gun when he was 10 years old and shot cans off a fence post.

Monday's visit was the first time in the school's 144-year history that a president has come to visit Paul Quinn College.

Students were moved to the college library for meals and other activities in order to ready the student union for Clinton's arrival.

"I instantly called my mom like, 'Hey, I'm going to be helping out when Bill Clinton gets here!'" said sophomore, Elexis Evans.

Lines began forming shortly after 2 p.m., wrapping around the student union by the time doors opened at 4:30 p.m. Both Evans and Lee were lucky enough to get a spot inside to hear Clinton's speech.
