Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton will be in Columbia on Tuesday in hopes of rallying voters in her favor for the Democratic primary in South Carolina on Saturday. Clinton’s presentation will focus on the barriers that hold South Carolina back.
Joining her on the trip through South Carolina will be five mothers who have lost their children to gun violence and police incidents, including Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, and Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland. The rally will be held at Central Baptist Church, located at 3625 Clement Road. Doors will open at 4:45 p.m., with the event beginning at 6:15 p.m.
On Tuesday evening from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., Clinton will attend the Democratic presidential town hall, along with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, held at the USC School of Law. Clinton will also make her way to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. statewide luncheon on Wednesday to be the sorority’s guest speaker. The luncheon will be held at Brookland Baptist Conference Center, located at 1054 Sunset Blvd. in West Columbia. The estimated time that Clinton will speak is 2:25 p.m.
