You mean besides her orchestrating protests and demonstration at her her college, encouraging school officials to recruit more black students and finally add people of color to their teaching staff?
You mean besides her working with the Children's Defense Fund right out of Yale Law, helping South Carolina to stop the incarceration of teenagers in adult prisons? Teenagers being mostly African-American youth.
You mean when she went to Alabama as an investigator to prove that Nixon's administration was not enforcing a ban on granting tax-exempt status to so-called segregation academies?
You mean when you advocated and championed the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)? The program that brought insurance to mostly children of color that were in dire need of it?
You mean like when she worked towards improving pre-K programs, providing parental help for at-risk families? That part now being included in Obama Care (Which is a more stripped down version of Hillary Care).
You mean how she's fighting for the voting rights of blacks and latinos? Requirements placed on voting that mostly impact the minorities of this country than anything.
This push behind the lead poisoning of Flint? It only gained national exposure and attention after she put it in the media, forcing it to become a topic of debate in the presidential election. The governor of Michigan is working like never before due to this new pressure on him.
She and her husband have done plenty. People are petty, by downplaying or being ignorant to insinuate she did and does nothing for those of color. But at the end of the day, you'll believe what you want to believe.
