Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came to Chicago on her MidwestCampaign jaunt to address the Women's International Luncheon at theRainbow PUSH Coalition 45th Annual Convention. After the luncheon, the"Chicago Defender" sat down, up close and personal, with the presumptiveDemocratic presidential nominee to get greater insight into her vision for abetter America.

"I have an old-fashioned belief that if you run for president, you shouldtell people what you're going to do," Clinton said as she revved up. "Listen,the next president of the United States can have the opportunity to selectone, two, three Supreme Court justices...and we don't want that presidentto be Donald Trump."

Back stage, Clinton said that she has a personal commitment to workingwith the Black Press and all local press. However, she has noticed in partic-ular the assumption of some in various parts of the country where she hastraveled that it is assumed that the Black Press will show up.

RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -Donald Trump, who frequentlycriticizes U.S. foreign policy underPresident Barack Obama and for-mer Secretary of State HillaryClinton, is praising Iraqi PresidentSaddam Hussein's ruthlessness."Saddam Hussein was a bad guy,right? ...

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) -

Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympian described by ajudge as a "fallen hero," was sen-tenced on Wednesday to six yearsin a South African prison for themurder of girlfriend ReevaSteenkamp, a ruling viewed bysome as too lenient.

For more than a decade,civil rights organizations,labor, clergy, and consumeradvocates have fought to endtriple-digit interest rates onsmall dollar loans. Whether itwas a high-cost installment,payday or car-title loan, thepush has been to freeAmerica's working familiesand consumers of color fromfees that can double, or eventriple the amount of moneyborrowed.

Now, after years of research,public hearings and advisoryforums, on June 2 theConsumer FinancialProtection Bureau (CFPB)announced a long-awaitedproposed rule. Speakingbefore a public hearing inKansas City, Richard Cordray,CFPB's director, spoke to theultimate consumer goal tiedto the proposed rule.

"Our proposed rule isdesigned to ensure more fair-ness with these financial prod-ucts by making systemicchanges to steer borrowersaway from ruinous debt trapsand restore to them a largermeasure of control over theiraffairs," said Director Cordray."Ultimately, our objective is toallow for responsible lending,while making sure that con-sumers do not fall into situa-tions that undermine theirfinancial lives."

For Rev. Dr. CassandraGould, a hearing speaker, pas-tor of Quinn Chapel AMEChurch in Jefferson City,Missouri, and executive direc-tor of Missouri Faith Voices,"all financial products are notequal" and payday lending is"a scourge on minority com-

munities.""Families need credit but

not all products help despitefilling that need," testified Rev.Gould. "I am reminded of thepeople in Flint. They neededwater because we need it tosurvive, but the water theyreceived was deadly. Paydaylending is toxic; it equates tothe water in Flint, it does moreharm than good."

"Instead of finding ways tohelp people in desperate eco-nomic times, predatorylenders trap them with sys-tematic callousness and cyclesof debt for their own gain,"added Rev. Gould.

The centerpiece of theCFPB's proposal establishes anability-to-repay principlebased on income and expens-es, covering both short-termand long-term loans - but withexceptions.

Early reactions to the pro-posal were as swift as theywere strong.

"Low-income people andpeople of color have longbeen targeted by slick adver-tising and aggressive market-ing campaigns to trap con-sumers into outrageously highinterest loans," said WadeHenderson, president and CEOof The Leadership Conferenceon Civil and Human Rights."That's why the civil rightscommunity wants to seepredatory payday lendersreined in and regulated. Thepower to lend is the power todestroy."

Recent research by theCenter for ResponsibleLending (CRL) found that pay-day loans drain $4.1 billion inannual fees from consumersliving in one of 36 stateswhere the loans are legal.

Similarly, car title loansoffered in 23 states accountfor another $3.9 billion in feeseach year according to CRL.For these borrowers, carrepossession, not repayment,is a common result that endsmobility for working families.Depending upon availablealternative transportation

options that can jeopardizeemployment.

Nearly half of these com-bined fees - $3.95 billion -come from only five states:California, Illinois, Mississippi,Ohio and Texas. Each of thesestates loses a half-billion ormore in fees each year.

"These loans often comewith outrageous terms, suchas interest rates that can top1,000 percent, and trap mil-lions of Americans a year in acycle of debt that many ofthem are never able to exit,"said Congresswoman MaxineWaters. "I applaud the CFPBfor their proposal and I willcontinue to work with theCFPB and consumer advocatesto stop the debt trap once andfor all."

Similar reactions came fromLatino leaders. "Payday loansmight sound like a goodoption, but they are intention-ally structured to keep bor-rowers in a cycle of borrowingand debt that causes millionsof hardworking Americansextreme financial difficulty,"said Janet Murguía, NationalCouncil of La Raza Presidentand CEO.

For Illinois CongressmanLuis Gutierrez, tying the abili-ty-to-pay standard to paydaylending is long overdue."These lenders are taking a bigbite out of low- and medium-income borrowers, exploitingtheir lack of choices and shak-ing down hard-working menand women," said Gutierrez. "Ihave tried to address thisthrough legislation, but I wasalways up against a very pow-erful and well-funded lobbyand they work on politicians atthe state and federal level inboth parties."

Many advocates, includingthe Stop the Debt TrapCampaign, viewed the meas-ure as an important first stepthat still needs work. Thisbroad coalition of more than500 advocacy organizationsfrom all 50 states spans civilrights, clergy, labor, consumerissues, and other groups is

among the largest groupsadvocating for consumers.

This coalition applauded theremoval of a large loophole inlast year's preliminary propos-al. It would have permittedlenders to avoid an ability-to-repay test by limiting loan pay-ments to 5 percent of a bor-rower's gross income. CFPBrejected that approach in partbecause evidence does notsupport that such loans wouldin fact be affordable for manylower-income borrowers.

According to Mike Calhoun,president of the Center forResponsible Lending (CRL),"As currently written, the rulecontains significant loopholesthat leave borrowers at risk,including exceptions for cer-tain loans from the ability-to-repay requirement, and inade-quate protections against'loan flipping' - putting bor-rowers into one unaffordablerule after another.

For CRL, the final ruleshould:

o Apply ability-to-repayrequirements to every loan;

o Increase protectionsagainst loan flipping;

o Ensure lenders mustdetermine that borrowershave enough income left overto meet their basic livingexpenses; and

o Be broadened to cover anyloan that enables lenders tocoerce repayment from bor-rowers.

Often consumers have opin-ions but wonder if anyone islistening. The proposed pay-day lending rule is a timewhen CFPB not only is listen-ing, but is relying on con-sumers and organizations toweigh in by September 14. Allinterested groups or individu-als can learn how to have theirconcerns count by visitingCFPB's web.

BLACK AND LATINO LEADERS SUPPORT STRONGER REGULATION OF PAYDAY AND CAR-TITLE LOANS

By Raynard Jackson (NNPANews Wire Columnist)

As long as the RepublicanParty continues to be dominat-ed by the same ol', same ol'White male staffers, consult-ants, and aides, they will con-tinue to alienate the Blackcommunity. As long as theRepublican Party continues to"showcase" Blacks that haveabsolutely no connection tothe Black community, have nounderstanding of communica-tions, or no understanding ofpolitical strategy, i.e. StaceyDash, they will continue to berejected.

I discussed these issues inmy column two weeks ago.

So, needless to say I wastotally mortified at the com-ments of Trump's former cam-paign manager, CoreyLewandowski, as reported byBuzzfeed last week (one dayafter his removal from thecampaign).

According to Buzzfeed,"Lewandowski was askedabout the campaign's failure toreturn phone calls fromprospective volunteers, andalso about Trump's plans towin over minority voters. Onthe second point,Lewandowski said he made thedecision that the campaignwould not launch outreach ini-tiatives "pandering" to specificethnic groups, becauseTrump's message was aimedbroadly at the entire country,he argued.

If I hear one moreRepublican claim theRepublican Party should notengage in "identity politics" orwhat they wrongly refer to as"pandering," I am going toscream. This is one of the mostidiotic notions I have ever

heard and is a major reasonthe party has such a difficulttime attracting Blacks andother minorities.

Let me first start by defining"identity politics." IP is simplyrecognizing that various con-stituent or demographicgroups exist and that theyshould be identified as such,and that a relevant strategy totarget them based on theirgroup profile should also becreated.

Many Republicans think theworld should be colorblind,that we are all Americans, andthat all of our issues are thesame. Well, adhering to thisview, there should be no malesor females, no Blacks orWhites, no unions or non-unions and no Christians orMuslims. We're all justhumans.

The Democrats go way over-board in the other directionwhere everything is separatedinto various groups. This totallydilutes what being American isall about.

But to simply recognize thedifferences within our countryis just plain common sense, notun-American.

So, while Corey wasdenouncing "pandering," thevery next day Trump met withover nine hundred evangeli-cals. Is that not pandering? Oh,my bad, it's only panderingwhen it involves Blacks orHispanics. If it involves evan-gelicals, veterans, or the bor-der patrol union, it's calledcampaigning.

Memo to Republicans: if youdon't or can't see that youhave no Blacks on your staffand very few engaged with theparty, then there is a problem.Either you are colorblind or

simply blind to people of color.In either scenario, there is ahuge problem.

What's even more idiotic isto see many Black Republicanssubscribe to this foolish color-blind notion, i.e., the afore-mentioned Stacey Dash. Theseare the type of Blacks thatRepublicans want to highlightall over the media, becausethey reinforce the party's pre-conceived ignorance and apa-thy towards the Black commu-nity.

As one who makes his livingfrom understanding the art ofstrategic communications andpublic relations, I have tried adnauseam to enlightenRepublicans on this issue, to noavail.

McDonalds' and Cadillacadvertise to Whites differentlythan they do to Blacks orLatinos, though they are sellingthe same product to everyone.

They will now use Hip-Hopmusic in their ads when tryingto reach certain demographicsversus classical music or usecertain athletes/entertainersthat resonate with a particulargroup.

Legendary singer, BarryManilow, a 72 year-old, WhiteJew, is not used to sell Cirocpremium vodka for a reason;he is the wrong demographic.Diageo, the owner, has maderapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combstheir brand ambassadorbecause they are targeting theurban market, i.e., Black peo-ple.

In my world, this is calledsmart business. Combs hashelped to increase Ciroc's sales50 fold; they went from 40,000cases sold per year pre-Combsto over 2.1 million cases peryear with Combs. This is what

IP gets you in the private sec-tor-profit! This would equateto winning national elections inthe political arena.

The Republican's approachto Ciroc would be to advertiseto the whole country, despitethe fact that urban Blacks andnightclubs buy most of thisproduct.

Yes, we are all Americans,but we all have our own splashof uniqueness; which is good.

To take my Ciroc example astep further, Republicanswould have hired a Whitebrand ambassador (notCombs) to promote the prod-uct to the urban marketbecause they don't believe in"identity politics;" they are col-orblind.

This is not a joke. Within theRepublican Party, you havemany Whites who think theyknow more about the Blackcommunity than someonefrom within the community.

Solomon said in Proverbs4:7, "Wisdom is the principlething, therefore get wisdom;and with all thy getting, getunderstanding."

How do you gain under-standing of the Black commu-nity unless you first recognizeand appreciate their unique-ness?

So to my Republicans whohave this perverted notion ofidentity politics when it comesto Blacks, please learn toappreciate market segmenta-tion and market demographicsand how to exploit them to sellyour message to those whohave of late been totallyrepulsed by your foolish notionof colorblindness.Colorblindness has left theRepublican Party in a color-bind.

By Barrington M. Salmon(NNPA News Wire Contributor)

When the southern Africannation of the Republic ofBotswana gained independ-ence from Britain in 1966, itwas ranked as the third poorestcountry in the world. Throughprudence, fiscal discipline andgood governance, Botswanaearned the reputation as oneof the fastest growingeconomies in the world in themid-1970s and is now a solidlymiddle-income country whichboasted a per capita grossdomestic product (GDP) of$16,600 in 2014.

Ambassador David Newman,Botswana's envoy to theUnited States, calls his nativecountry "the world's best-keptsecret," and as the 2.2 millioncitizens celebrate 50 years ofindependence, Newman saidthat not only will he spread thegood news about the country'ssuccess, but tourism officials,corporate partners and otherswill also share the positivereports.

"We are a modern democra-cy and success story," saidNewman during an interviewprior to a June 10 black-tie galaat the Mandarin Oriental Hotelin downtown Washington, D.C."Botswana is the world'slargest producer of diamondsin terms of value."

Newman said it was fortu-itous for natives of Botswana,that diamonds were discoveredin 1967 and since then, dia-mond mining has fueled muchof the country's infrastructureexpansion and growth in areassuch as education, agricultureand healthcare. Revenues fromdiamond mining accounts foralmost 80 percent of exportearnings, more than one-thirdof GDP, and, according to theWorld Diamond Council, gen-erates almost one-third of thegovernment's revenues.

"The British were willing topart with [the country] andexpected Botswana to be acharity case forever," he saidwith a chuckle.

The Ibrahim Index ranksBotswana as the best governednation on the African continentand, according to Forbes maga-zine, two major investmentservices rank Botswana - alandlocked republic that gainedindependence after being a

British protectorate - as thebest credit risk in Africa.

Newman credits a number offactors for Botswana's stability,including the people them-selves, who he said naturallypractice tolerance, respect andhumility.

"We've developed somegood partnerships. We've had50 years and 10 elections, oneevery five years. It's a very sta-ble, secure country," he said.

Benjamin Chavis, presidentand CEO of the NationalNewspaper PublishersAssociation (NNPA), praisedthe progress the country -headed by President Lt. Gen.Ian Khama, former commanderof the Botswana Defense Force- has made.

"At a time when our world isoverwhelmed with negativenews, the 50th anniversary ofBotswana's independence isevidence of enduring goodnews," said Chavis. "The NNPAis very interested in getting andsharing the stories ofBotswana's stable democracyand the significance andimprovement of the quality oflife of African people inSouthern Africa."

"We look forward to workingwith our counterparts inBotswana who're involved inthe media, both print and digi-tal. Botswana is a global storyof what all people should bemade aware."

For 10 days in early June,Newman, tourism officials andrepresentatives of the DeBeersGroup traveled to the largestdiamond show in the world inLas Vegas, and to New York,

Chicago and Washington, DC todrum up exposure and naildown trade and investmentopportunities.

"We've been in Botswana foralmost 50 years since theyfound diamond deposits atOkavango in 1967," said DavidPrager, De Beers' Global Headof Corporate Affairs. "We havea joint venture called,'Debswana,' which is a true 50-50 partnership. Botswana doesthe mining which has helpedfuel tremendous economicgrowth. Diamonds are ourlong-term proposition.DeBeers is blessed to be a part-ner. For DeBeers, it was theright thing to do. We're proudcorporate citizens."

Debswana is the country'slargest private-sector employ-er.

"There is good governance,strong democratic institution, abelief in the rule of law andprudent, smart men who sawthe necessity to reinvestmoney from the diamonds intothe infrastructure, educationand healthcare," said Prager."They built a self-fulfilling, vir-tuous economic model that hasallowed them to grow. Thistour is telling the story mostpeople don't know. Botswanahas a powerful, singular storyto tell."

Prager said that every fiveweeks, representatives from 85companies travel to Botswanafor sales events.

Jillian Blackbeard, marketingmanager for BotswanaTourism, echoed Prager's com-ments about diversification, asshe discussed her country's

efforts to expand its tourismand conservation sectorsbeyond diamonds. She said thecountry's leaders have setaside 40 percent of the land forwildlife management in thewetlands of the OkavangoDelta in the north. Botswana ishome to about 40 percent of allthe surviving elephants left inthe world, and the countrywhich is the size of Texas, haswhat is described as the largestgame reserves on the Africancontinent with giraffes, bigcats, rhinos, zebras, large dogs,giraffes, wild dogs and thelargest population of Africanelephants - 200,000 - on thecontinent.

The tourist high season, shesaid, runs from May throughSeptember after the Februaryrains.

"We want to maintain theOkavango, increase the lowvolume and increase the num-ber of visitors," saidBlackbeard, an eighth-genera-tion Botswanan. "We're work-ing to create more employ-ment. Tourism is the second-largest generator of grossdomestic product. We have toproduce more product."

Blackbeard said the tourismministry has recently openedoffices in the U.S., Russia andGermany, is promoting sportsadventure packages such as anair show with the Dubai aero-nautical team and what shecalls a "sky diving boogie,"where 200 people will jumpfrom airplanes.

The focus is on building onbusiness tourism, eco-tourism,and a concentration on culturaland heritage tourism, she said.Visitors can enjoy the country'ssavannahs on safari or revel inall-inclusive camps, or go to theKalahari Desert where the tra-ditional San people and mem-bers of other traditional ethnicgroups will accompany them asthey forage for food, collectmushrooms, herbs, wildspinach and wild roots andlearn about their uses andmedicinal applications.

"It's about synergy. We wantto be the positive destinationof the world," Blackbeard said."Botswana was named LonelyPlanet's Destination of theYear. The World Tour is to getthe message out. We're goingto major trade shows, all tobreak the silence."

In a desire to help create agreater awareness of sickle celldisease (SCD) and increase theirefforts to find a cure, Pfizer invit-ed members of the Black Press tomeet and discuss with key mem-bers of their rare disease medicaland management staff the stateof (SCD) and their search for acure.

It is estimated that sickle celldisease (SCD) affects approxi-mately 100,000 Americans and 1out of 365 Blacks in the UnitedStates, according to the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention. About 1 in 13 Blacksare born with sickle cell trait(SCT).

Sickle cell disease is one of themost prevalent genetic disordersin the U.S. It is a rare and debili-tating chronic disease with life-long clinical impact and reducedlife expectancy; life expectancy is48 years for females and 42 yearsfor males with sickle cell disease.

There are more than 100,000people in the U.S. living with sick-le cell disease, and many of themexperience multiple vaso-occlu-sive crises each year. Thesepainful crises result in more than75,000 hospitalizations per yearin the U.S., with an average hospi-tal stay of approximately six days.

Niesha Foster, the senior direc-tor and corporate affairs lead forPfizer's inflammation, immunolo-gy and rare disease unit, intro-duced the participants whoshared why they've been sodevoted to creating greaterawareness about (SCD), and theopportunities available to assistthose that struggle with thisdebilitating disease.

Sonja Banks, the CEO of theSickle Cell Disease Association ofAmerica, Inc. (SCDAA) sharedhow alarmed she was to learn in2010 that "in a hundred years of

discovering the sickle cell disease,only one FDA drug had beenapproved and it wasn't even forsickle cell. It was just as heartwrenching then, as it is now, toknow that our people are stillgoing to hospitals as their medicalhome. Why don't we have acure?"

Pfizer's Chief Medical OfficerDr. Freda Lewis-Hall recalled thejoy she initially felt interning atHoward University Hospital aftergraduating from medical school,but when she attempted to easethe pain of a toddler living withsickle cell, that joy was replacedwith an overwhelming sense offutility.

"I heard an unbelievable pierc-ing sound from a toddler in a sick-le cell crisis," said Lewis-Hall. "Itried to hydrate her and providesome pain relief…It was at thatmoment that I realized how help-less I was without the tools."

Thirty years later, Lewis Hallsaid that physicians still lack thenecessary tools to treat the dis-ease.

Although some of the drugsthat scientists have discoveredhave just not been good enoughor safe enough, according toLewis-Hall and Banks, the reason

why a cure hasn't been devel-oped is because AfricanAmericans haven't participatedenough in clinical trials.

All of the participants, includ-ing Dr. Kevin Williams, the vicepresident of global medical affairsin Pfizer's rare disease unit, rec-ognized that African Americansare reluctant and often afraid toparticipate in clinical trials,because of the lingering distrustof the medical field due to theTuskegee Syphilis Study and oftenpoor treatment received at med-ical facilities.

Thomas Watkins, the publisherof the Daily Challenge, said"Blacks will participate in clinicaltrials as long as they're not theonly ones."

Banks said that the AfricanAmerican community needs toget over the stigma associatedwith clinical trials.

"The syphilis study wouldn'thappen again," said Banks. "Weare too much of an educatedcommunity now … and who'sgoing to make these drugs cometo fruition? If we don't partici-pate we'll never find treatment ora cure."

"A lot of people have no ideaabout what it means to partici-

pate in a clinical trial," says Dr.Lewis Hall … Some of it is re-edu-cating about the things that havehappened in our collectiveAfrican American past.

"We need to be educatedspecifically what it really meansto be in a clinical trial," saidLewis-Hall. "Our absolute bestadvocates are people who havebeen in clinical trials."

Today's clinical trials are alsohighly regulated by third partyexperts and require informedconsent.

Marie Ojiambo, who is not onlya SCD patient and Pfizer intern,but is also an advocate that workswith SCDAA said that it's easierfor her to go to a SCD patient andget them to participate in a clini-cal trial than it is for a doctor.

There are 37,500 clinical trialscurrently available, said Dr. Lewis-Hall.

Pfizer is currently in Phase 3 oftheir clinical trial and needs toenroll 350 participants within thenext 2 years. Since they'vealready obtained some positiveresults from their Phase 2 trials,they hope to have a drug avail-able in 3-5 years.

Dr. Lewis-Hall explained that itusually takes 15 years to bring anew drug to trial. "So by the timethat you get to Phase 3, it wouldbe an unusual event for a compa-ny to walk away…and if this drugdoesn't make it because of a lackof participation, it would be a cry-ing shame."

His contract is for $54 million over two yearsand includes a player option, a person with knowledgeof the deal said Monday, speaking on condition ofanonymity because details weren't made public.Durant's move will become official as soon asThursday, when free agents can sign their new con-tracts. And the 2015 champion Warriors, who squan-dered a 3-1 NBA Finals lead to lose to LeBron Jamesand the Cavaliers last month, know how tough Durantis in any lineup: They rallied from down 3-1 to beatDurant and the Thunder in a seven-game WesternConference Finals.

DALLAS (AP) - Andrew Bogut is headed to the DallasMavericks from Golden State thanks to the Warriors'successful pursuit of Kevin Durant.

A person with knowledge of the deal said theMavericks have agreed to acquire Bogut with theWarriors trying to clear salary cap space.

Other details of the trade are still being worked out,the person told The Associated Press on condition ofanonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized andcan't be official until league business resumesThursday.

The person also said the Mavericks are set to signHarrison Barnes, who will become an unrestricted freeagent after Golden State renounces his rights to clearenough cap room to sign Durant.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The San Antonio Spurs agreedto a two-year deal with veteran forward Pau Gasol, aperson with knowledge of the situation told TheAssociated Press.

The deal is worth more than $30 million and finalterms will be completed after the Spurs make a moveor two to create the necessary cap space.

NEW YORK (AP) - Brandon Jennings will finally playfor the Knicks, seven years after they passed over himin the draft.

Jennings agreed to a contract, a person with knowl-edge of the details told The Associated Press, confirm-ing reports of the point guard's one-year, $5 milliondeal on condition of anonymity because it can't besigned until Thursday.

MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade has an offer to consider.Wade has been extended a two-year, $40 million

contract offer to stay with the Miami Heat, a personwith knowledge of the negotiations told TheAssociated Press on Monday.

The second year would be at Wade's option. The con-tract, if accepted, would essentially match the career-best $20 million salary Wade made this past season.

"And that's not always thecase, so we want to makesure that we make the effortto reach out, and not onlyduring the campaign, buteven in the White House,"Clinton said. "I see the BlackPress playing an active role ingetting our message outdirectly to its readers, partici-pating in the various activi-ties such as today's luncheon,and making sure that it hasaccess as well as beingincluded in the advertisingbuy."

Hillary Clinton has made itclear that she will continuethe initiatives that PresidentBarack Obama implementedand work to enhance afford-able health care. She creditsthe president with savingAmerica from anothernational economic disaster,having inherited the worstfinancial crisis in Americanhistory since the GreatDepression. And he's done somuch more than he is givencredit for, she said, and sheplans to continue support ofthose efforts.

When asked about theBlack, Latino, and LGBTQcommunities, Hillary Clintonsaid she has plans to addressthe issues that disproportion-ately affect each of thoseunderserved communities,and you can actually go toher website and read foryourself exactly what hervision is. She provided addi-tional insight, adding that,"we need more good jobswith rising incomes, becausewe're just not seeing enoughof them. There aren't enoughemployment opportunities inChicago's underserved com-munities."

It's clear that Clinton recog-nizes the disparities thatplague the marginalized.

"We need to make surethat there are some big, boldprograms like infrastructure,like clean, renewable energy,like advanced manufacturing,that are within the reach ofthose people who need

those jobs and [that should]have the chance to competefor them," she proposed,noting that over the last 10 to15 years Americans haveseen a lot of the jobs in thecountry that are not withinreach of those who live in themost distressed urban orrural areas.

Hillary Clinton said shewants to make jobs availablefirst. Second, she wants makehigh quality education moreaccessible. She was adamantabout the need for theUnited States to do better atpreparing our youngest chil-dren to go to school and sup-porting them throughouttheir academic careers.

"There are a lot of ways wecan do that. I am committedto working with communi-ties, churches and education-al systems to try to figure outhow," she said. "But parentsand grandparents have to besupported in doing the mostimportant job of raising thenext generation of children,and we need to do all that wecan to see to it that we dothat."

Clinton spoke about hervision to restore, "schoolsthat people believe in, thatthey are passionate about,and we have that in a lot ofplaces and I know that youdon't have that in Chicago."

Clinton continued: "Weneed diversionary programsso that we're not suspendingand expelling five-, six-, sevenand eight-year-old kids, whoare acting out. We have a ter-rible disciplinary dividewhere kids, who are eitherhaving problems or are justacting like normal kids, arebeing suspended if they'reAfrican-American or Latinoand White kids doing thesame thing aren't. That startsthe whole cradle to prisonpipeline."

In her effort to end the cra-dle-to-prison pipeline,Clinton envisions doing moreto intervene in helping youngchildren be successful,including after school sup-port intervention programs.

"We just need a big wraparound, 'It takes a village toraise a child' attitude abouthow we're going to help ourkids," the former Secretary ofState said.

For the older youth,Clinton said that she recog-nizes that oftentimesteenagers don't have oppor-tunities to direct their energyin positive directions andhow easy it is for them to bemisdirected, often leading togang affiliation or some otherform of violence or destruc-tive behavior.

Clinton said that, "Thepolicing issue is an essential,necessary step to beresolved, and then we haveto figure out what more canwe do to keep people safe."

She also pointed out thatshe promised the parentswho have lost their childrento gun violence that, shewould do everything she canto change the gun laws.

If she becomes the firstfemale president of theUnited States, she will breakthe highest glass ceiling inthe world and with that inmind, she would also bring acognizant reality of setting aprecedent for women in theworkplace.

"We also have to raise theminimum wage." she added."Right now, two-thirds ofminimum-wage workers arewomen. And that's a povertywage. And I have met womenworking two and three mini-mum-wage jobs just to keeptheir heads above water, tokeep their house and to keeptheir kids in day care, takewhatever it may be."

Clinton said that she alsowants to help more minori-ties and women start theirown businesses.

"I want to see how we canhelp improve the process, toget faster credit, helpingthem to get the support theyneed, to understand to writea business plan…how to dealwith the stress of being abusiness owner."
