The Amsterdam News endorses Hillary Clinton for president HRC ROOM

We need Hillary.

Our country sits on the precipice. We will either continue to rise up out of the ashes of the Bush presidency or go down in flames. The past seven years have been a struggle, to say the least. President Barack Obama has done a remarkable job trying to right this ship we call America, while having to ride the storm surges of the right wing trying to sink us at every turn. We have come a long way, but there are still so many challenges ahead of us.

As New York heads to the polls in just a few short weeks, we must be clear in our objectives. We must understand our history and who has written it. So now it is our turn to correct some of the misnomers and half truths as we go forward to this pivotal election, which, as many pundits have noted, may be the most consequential in our lifetime.

As a New Yorker with an understanding of and an appreciation of our rich, diverse history, I can tell you how important that paper is.

It's interesting, I thought it was just Southern blacks who embraced Hillary as the clear best choice as our nominee. I guess the Amsterdam News must have relocated.
