Related: About this forumClinton Gains Support From 170 African American Women Leaders
Hillary Clinton, looking ahead to the South Carolina primary, is strategically mobilizing black voters during a critical stretch in the 2016 presidential campaign.
The Clinton campaign announced Wednesday that more than 170 prominent African American women leaders have endorsed the former Secretary of State in her bid to become the nation's first female president.
All of these black women will rally African American voters around Clinton's candidacy in the upcoming South Carolina primary on Feb. 27 and March primary states.
The women will serve as surrogates for Clinton, a Democrat, and according to the campaign, they will host debate watch parties, neighborhood meetings, and women-only phone banks.
They will also walk door-to-door to businesses that include beauty salons, barber shops and grocery stores to carry Clinton's message about closing the pay gap for women, fighting for paid family leave, raising the minimum wage, and protecting women's reproductive rights.

That is a great paean to womanhood at a time when rappers were objectifying them.

As mentioned on another thread, the endorsements help bring HRC's message out to the public through personal appearances, media, tv ads and social media.
