Quote:
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made an appeal directly to African-American voters while speaking at a black church in Detroit on Saturday and said they are 'God's greatest gift to our nation.'
The billionaire traveled to the city for a special service at the Great Faith International Ministries church along with Dr. Ben Carson and Omarosa Manigault, his director of African-American Outreach.
As the choir sang a Christian selection and members of the audience clapped their hands, Trump sported a slight grin as he swayed back and forth seemingly dancing along to the music.
His latest trip comes amid criticism that Trump has yet to bring his message into black communities across America, after weeks of trying to appeal to black voters.
Quote:
While speaking in a measured tone, he said: 'Our nation is too divided. We talk past each other and not to each other.
'And those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what's going on.
'I'm here today to learn, so that we can together remedy injustice in any form, and so that we can also remedy economics so that the African-American community can benefit economically through jobs and income and so many other different ways.
'I believe we need a civil rights agenda for our time.'
