Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met last week with representatives from the New Hampshire chapter of Black Lives Matter, sharing a frank - and occasionally tense - exchange about the history of institutional racism and the mechanics of successful protest movements.
Black Lives Matter, though in its infancy, has already made quite a mark on the2016 election, disrupting several recent campaign events with a call for racial justice. The activists who met with Clinton were planning to attend her campaign event in Keene, N.H. last Tuesday, but they were turned away by Secret Service agents who said the venue was at capacity. They watched the event from an overflow room and later met backstage with the candidate for a private discussion. Two video clips of that meeting were released Monday by Good Magazine.
