New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton told an audience of top African-American thinkers and legislators on Tuesday in Harlem that ending racial inequities in the United States would be "the mission" of her presidency.
In a speech as political as it was policy focused, Clinton laid out plans to use the federal government to ensure end inequality.
Clinton called for "end-to-end" criminal justice reform, more support for African-American homeowners and a $20 billion spending plan aimed "specifically at creating jobs for young people" in minority communities.
Clinton was joined at the event by a group of New York Democratic heavyweights, including New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York Mayor Bill De Blasio, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Rep. Charlie Rangel and Al Sharpton.
While the former secretary of state has been leading opponent Bernie Sanders with black voters, the Vermont senator has attracted a number of endorsements from high-profile African-Americans.
