Hillary Clinton's newest supporters

Hillary Clinton is making big moves right now. The mothers of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner are both fully supporting Hillary Clinton. This is huge for Hillary regarding getting votes from African-Americans. The two mothers have been through so much with their sons getting shot by police and dying. This support was very public because it was a a roundtable discussion about gun violence. There is even a picture of Trayvon's mother holding Hillary's hand. The mother's went out of there way to go find Hillary and show their support. This is very interesting as Bernie Sanders (Clinton's opponent) has been gaining a lot of ground with young and black people. I am very interested to see how this shapes the rest of Hillary's campaign.
