Mwanda and Husbands claim they were kicked out of the rally for writing "Black Lives Matter" on the back of a Clinton sign.
"Why are these three words such a threat to her and her campaign?" Mwanda said.
Clinton's campaign said late Friday that neither the campaign nor the Secret Service ejected anyone from the rally.
Mwanda said once she and Husbands got to City Hall, they were put in a holding area for students. At some point, a campaign staffer gave Mwanda a sign reading, "Ready for Hillary."
"I didn't want to hold it, because I don't know if I am supporting her yet," Mwanda said. "I gave it away, but it made its way back to me."
It ended up in Husbands' hands.
The students knew they would be at the rally for most of the day, so Husbands had her books and bag. She took out a marker and wrote "Black Lives Matter" on the back of the sign. She also wrote the names of three people recently killed and for whom Black Lives Matter has rallied:
Why is it at most Clinton events Black Lives Matter supporters get ejected?
