Presidential candidate\u00a0Hillary Clinton rallied for minority votes today in Bronzeville, a historically African-American community on the south side of Chicago.<\/p>\n

Geneva Reed-Veal, the mother of Sandra Bland, who was found dead in a\u00a0jail cell in Texas days after being\u00a0pulled over for a routine traffic stop, endorsed Clinton during the rally today.<\/p>\n

Several Chicago mothers whose children were either killed by gun violence or by\u00a0police joined Clinton on stage.\u00a0Clinton supporters at the rally said they believe the former Secretary of State will bring minorities together to foster better relations between the police and the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has the ability with gathering all of us mothers together so that when we get out and let people see we chose not to die even though our kid did\u2026I believe that will take it over the top,\u201d said Reed-Veal.<\/p>\n

More than 200 people attended the rally in Bronzeville’s historic Parkway Ballroom to hear Secretary Clinton\u2019s speech. She next\u00a0moves on to the Nevada Caucuses and South Carolina primary where analysts say winning minority votes is\u00a0crucial for her to prevail over Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n
