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.
