Hillary Clinton had a private meeting with a small group of #BlackLivesMatter activists after a campaign event she held in Keene, NH on Tuesday. Clinton spoke with the activists after they were barred access from the event and were shuttled to an overflow room. Media was not present for the intimate gathering.

Daunasia Yancey, the founder of the group says she was challenged to answer questions about her involvement with the war on drugs and how that has channeled violence onto marginalized groups of color.
