Hillary Clinton to tackle race again at National Urban League conference

Hillary Clinton will once again turn to the topics of race and inequality when she speaks at the National Urban League's annual conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, later this month.

The speech, set for July 31, will give Clinton a chance to reach one of the largest gatherings of African-Americans of the cycle, with an expected attendance of over 10,000 people over the course of the 3-day event.

The address comes as Clinton continues to make race and inequality central to her campaign for the Democratic nomination.

In April, she used her first major policy speech to address racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
