In politics, the name of the game is public support. And Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is boosting her already large list of supporters. More than 170 Black women leaders are endorsing Hillary Clinton for President in 2016, among them: Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, Karen Weaver, mayor of Flint, Michigan, Shonda Rhimes, Bishop Vashti McKenzie, Alexis Herman, former Secretary of Labor, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and former NAACP president Hazel Dukes. Clinton’s campaign believes these women will mobilize their networks and other groups in efforts to make her the first female President of the United States.
