Ten 
presidential 
candidates 
addressed African American voters 
at the 110th National Association 
of the Advancement of Colord 
People National Convention on 

Wednesday morning at the Cobo 
Center in Detroit. 
The 
presidential 
candidates 
forum included nine Democratic 
candidates: former Vice President 
Joe Biden; Sen. Cory Booker; 
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg; 
Julián Castro, former Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development; 

Sen. Kamala Harris; Sen. Amy 
Klobuchar; former Texas Rep. Beto 
O’Rourke; Sen. Bernie Sanders 
and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Bill 
Weld, a former Massachusetts 
governor challenging President 
Donald Trump for the Republican 
nomination, was also present.
Trump has said he “very much 

wanted” to attend the convention 
but could not because of changes 
to the date and format. He said 
he agreed to deliver a speech, but 
NAACP wanted to engage in a 
question-and-answer session.
In a press release ahead of the 
event, Derrick Johnson, NAACP 
president and CEO, emphasized 
the importance of ensuring Black 
voters are able to make their voices 
heard and counted. 
“The 
upcoming 
2020 
presidential election is one of 
the most pivotal elections in 
our lifetime and will be heavily 
influenced by the Black electorate,” 
Johnson wrote. “We must ensure 
we’re electing officials who will 
help us set policy priorities that 
will bring about positive change 
for communities of color.”
In 2016, Black voter turnout 
decreased for the first time in 20 
years, after surpassing white voter 

turnout for the first time in 2008 
and then in 2012. In 2016, 42,598 
fewer Detroiters cast their ballots 
than in 2012 — and Trump won 
Michigan with less than 11,000 
votes. 
Each 
candidate 
was 
given 
10 minutes to appeal to Black 
Americans in the audience and 
watching at home: two minutes of 
opening remarks, seven minutes 
of answering questions posed by 
moderator CNN journalist April 
Ryan and one minute for their 
closing statement. 
Warren 
addressed 
the 
audience first, discussing her 
housing plan, which features a 
“first-of-its-kind” down payment 
assistance 
program 
for 
low-
income families living in formerly 
redlined neighborhoods.
