Sanders Speaks Against Racism
On Sunday Night, while addressing a crowd of 12,500 people at the Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, Bernie Sanders reiterated his stand on social issues plaguing Americans. He narrated how in the sixties, he and a group of other white students crossed the line and embraced their black colleagues who learned in portable trailers set by schools to create racial segregation. Accordingly, theseventy-seven-year-oldindicated that it was in Chicago that he developed his activism against racism, sexism, corporate malpractices, homophobia, and environmentalism (Gambino, 2019). Sanders is currently one of the most senior Democrats in the 2020 Presidential race keen on unseating President Trump. In what promises to be a gruesomebattle for the ticket, Sanders will possibly be forced to square it out with veteran politicians like Joe Biden and Congressman Beto O’Rouke who may join the race. Can he go all the way?
