And in case you’re wondering what “Hell You Talmbout” is, it’s a protest song recorded earlier this year by singer Janelle Monáe.
Back in August, Clinton met with #BlackLivesMatter activists to address the issues they’re trying to bring to the candidates’ attention. During her speech today Clinton spoke a lot about racism, profiling, and other minority concerns.
