GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders told a North Carolina crowd Sunday night that young people — particularly blacks and other minorities — are being devastated by high unemployment stemming from an inequitable economy and erosion of voting rights engineered by Republicans.

Wrapping up a weekend campaign swing through the South, the independent Vermont senator told a raucous meeting hall and an overflow crowd totaling more than 9,000 people "to join the political revolution" of his upstart campaign based less on big money and more on equality.
