Sanders ad invokes MLK

A new ad released by the Bernie Sanders campaign invokes Martin Luther King and paints the Vermont senator as a champion for racial justice.

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability,” a voice says at the beginning of the ad, quoting King.

{mosads}”Bernie Sanders, he was there when Dr. King marched on Washington, unafraid to challenge the status quo to end racial profiling, take on police misconduct and take down a system that profits from mass imprisonment,” the narrator continues.

The ad comes amid a battle between Sanders and Hillary Clinton over minority voters as the southern primaries approach.

“There is no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism,” Sanders says in the ad.
