On February 26, 2016 Hilary Clinton visited the campus of South Carolina State University to persuade students to cast their vote for her on Saturday February 27. The “Breaking Down Barriers” rally was held at 3:45pm in Dukes Gymnasium. Doors opened at 3:15pm and the Orangeburg community quickly filled the gym.
Hilary Clinton had familiar faces such as Starr Jones, Karen Civil, K. Michelle and Congressman Jim Clyburn speak on her policies and her as an individual before she entered the stage. “44 boys is enough, it’s time for madam president” said Starr Jones. As Congressman Jim Clyburn gave his speech he reminded the audience of what she has done for the United States without having the role as President “No one has run for president with such an extensive résumé.”
(K. Michelle)
Majority of students entered the rally undecided, however after hearing her policies some decision were made that very moment. “Personally I felt like she did a wonderful job getting her point across, it didn’t feel like it was rehearsed it was very personal. I came here undecided but now I’m leaning more toward Hilary. She made great talking points that I can relate to especially health care and trying to get out of school without debt.” London Knight Senior. (Congressmen Jim Clyburn)
The Breaking Down Barriers Rally had a very good turn out, students were star struck when given the opportunity to get selfies with Hilary Clinton and K Michelle. Hilary Clinton is now preparing for her campaign trail for Super Tuesday.
