I think he could reach more blacks by showing clips like this as commercials that demonstrate his consistency on this issue over DECADES. I think one of the images he is fighting against in getting our vote is that of Bill Clinton opening his office in Harlem after his presidency. That, my friends, was extremely profound for many blacks. Many don't know anything about Hillary but LOVE her husband. He needs to step it up. It most certainly can be done.

I was a Jesse supporter, here is Bernie in 1988 talking about Jesse's candidacy for the President of the United States of America. This was in fact Bernie's first Vermont Democratic Caucus apperence.

This is 1986, Bernie addressing National Rainbow Coalition Conference

Since you mentioned 'decades' and the 80's were a few decades back.
