Palmetto Sunrise: Actresses Angela Bassett, Vivica A. Fox campaigning for Hillary Clinton Tuesday

http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20160209/PC1603/160209376/1177/palmetto-sunrise-actresses-angela-bassett-vivica-a-fox-campaigning-for-hillary-clinton-tuesday

COLUMBIA — Hollywood comes to the South Carolina Statehouse on Tuesday when Academy Award-nominated actress Angela Bassett and actress Vivica A. Fox address the media about “get out the vote” efforts for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

The actresses are scheduled to appear at a press conference at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in the state’s capital with the more than 20 state lawmakers who previously endorsed Clinton. Bassett and Fox are taking part in the campaign’s canvass of historically black colleges and universities across South Carolina.
-------
Charleston Sen. Marlon Kimpson also announced his endorsement of Clinton on Monday, saying the former secretary of state has long fought for children and families in South Carolina.

“Her longtime fight for opportunity and justice didn’t begin a few months ago — it’s been decades of work — especially for those without a voice,” he said in a press release Monday. “Her priorities are the right priorities for South Carolina families — from addressing the public health crisis of gun violence to improving our schools, and she will always ensure our children have the opportunities to succeed.”
