Hillary Clinton Just Made Great Points About Systemic Racism at a Speech in Harlem

Hillary Clinton tackled racial injustice head on in New York on Tuesday, in a speech to voters at Harlem's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. In an expansive speech on "systemic racism," Clinton addressed everything from mass incarceration to supporting black entrepreneurs and job creation to segregation in the American educational system and beyond.

Clinton then directed voters to her website, where she published a cohesive plan to address systemic racism. First, the candidate states, she'll work to "dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline" by providing $2 billion to support school reform and push states to direct educational funding to "implement social and emotional support interventions."

Additionally, considering that 1.5 million black men are incarcerated and that Native Americans are generally incarcerated at a rate 38% higher than the national average, Clinton's site says that she will cut mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses in half and prioritize treatment and rehabilitation over incarceration.

The speech makes Clinton's plans to address racial injustice clear. How her fellow candidates will respond remains to be seen.
