A “Black Lives Matter” activist, …youth activist Ashley Williams, hoped to draw attention to statements made in 1996 by then-first lady Hillary Clinton about bringing black criminals “to heel” by holding up a large sign.
HILLARY CLINTON: I think we’ve got somebody saying [something] here, have you? “Bring them to heel?”
ASHLEY WILLIAMS, BLACK LIVES MATTER: We want you to apologize for mass incarceration. I’m not a super-predator, Hillary Clinton.
CLINTON: okay fine, we’ll talk about it.
WILLIAMS: Will you apologize to black people for mass incarceration?CLINTON: Well, can I talk, and then maybe you can listen to what I say. Fine. Thank you very much. There are a lot of issues in this campaign. The very first speech that I gave back in April was about criminal justice reform.
WILLIAMS: You called black people “Super-Predators.”
CROWD: You’re being inappropriate, that’s rude.
WILLIAMS: She called black people “super predators,” that is rude. CLINTON: Do you want to hear the facts or do you just want to talk?WILLIAMS: I know that you called black people “super predators” in 1994, please explain it to us. You owe black people an apology.
CROWD: That is inappropriate.
CLINTON: If you give me a chance to talk, I’ll come to your side… You know what! Nobody’s every asked me [this] before. You’re the first person to ask me and I am happy to address it.
At that point, Williams is gently removed from the building.
