[Rose Siding]

The Rev. Al Sharpton — who sipped tea at Sylvia’s Restaurant in Harlem on Wednesday with Bernie Sanders — said he is meeting with Hillary Clinton next Tuesday in New York City, along with National Urban League President Marc Morial and NAACP President Cornell Brooks.....

Sharpton said he will host a news conference with Clinton after the closed-door meeting, which would mark the first time Clinton were to take questions from the press corps that covers her in over two months.
Clinton so far has demonstrated she has support of an older generation of black activists, like Georgia Rep. John Lewis and civil rights leader Hazel Dukes. But at the meeting Tuesday with Clinton, Sharpton said each of the organization leaders are bringing a handful of millennials so she can meet “young people in traditional organizations,” not just the activists with the Black Lives Matter movement.

4. Many milenials will vote. By far, most will not

And Black and Hispanic kids make up a large portion of milenials. So Hillary will get a good share of their vote.

6. Actually it is important for millenials to vote, they should have a long future ahead of them,

I hope they support Hillary, she will not fail them.
