Excerpt:
The audience at the church today interrupted Sanders regularly with applause and cheers and briefly broke into a chant of “Bernie, Bernie” when he finished his remarks.
Abraham White of Opelika said the senator echoed many of his own thoughts and inspired him. White said he believes the ideas that Sanders has built his campaigns on could become reality.
”I think it will take a lot of people coming together. But it’s definitely something that’s possible. He gave me hope today. He really did," White said.
Before appearing at the church today, Sanders visited historical sites from the civil rights movement in Lowndes and Montgomery counties. He visited the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, the memorial to lynching victims established by the Equal Justice Initiative last year.
