Sen. Bernie Sanders fires up hundreds at forum in north Minneapolis-More on Black America Comm Forum
Sen. Bernie Sanders at Friday's forum at Patrick Henry High School.
Sen. Bernie Sanders fired up hundreds of people in north Minneapolis as he vowed to address high African-American unemployment and incarceration rates, but the atmosphere grew tenser when some people pressed him for a more detailed agenda to help the black community.
The Democratic presidential candidate spoke in the gym of Patrick Henry High School alongside seven other panelists in a community forum hosted by Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, which sought to have him discuss solutions to problems facing African-Americans.
