"Clinton, the women all agreed, had been the only candidate to reach out to them. That fact was stressed again and again in the more than an hour they spent here, speaking to a small group of mostly black voters.
Geneva Reed-Veal the mother of Sandra Bland, the Illinois woman found hanging in a Texas jail cell last year described Clinton as the kind of person you can "take your shoes off and have a conversation with."
"You can not fake passion," Reed-Veal said. "You cannot fake concern."
While some of these women have campaigned on Clintons behalf prior to todays roundtable, this is the first time the five have stood shoulder to shoulder in an effort to boost her campaign. Tomorrow, at a different church in Columbia, S.C., theyll stand beside Clinton herself."
