LeBron James: Why I'm endorsing Hillary Clintonby LeBron James at Business Insider

"SNIP...............
I support Hillary because she will build on the legacy of my good friend, President Barack Obama. I believe in what President Obama has done for our country and support her commitment to continuing that legacy.
Like my foundation, Hillary has always been a champion for children and their futures. For over 40 years, shes been working to improve public schools, expand access to health care, support childrens hospitals, and so much more.
..........
She also has plans to make college a reality for more people in America, especially for those who cant afford it. My kids in Akron are proof of the hope and motivation that come from knowing college can be in their future, no matter what obstacles they might be facing.
Finally, we must address the violence, of every kind, the African-American community is experiencing in our streets and seeing on our TVs. I believe rebuilding our communities by focusing on at-risk children is a significant part of the solution. However, I am not a politician, I dont know everything it will take finally to end the violence. But I do know we need a president who brings us together and keeps us unified. Policies and ideas that divide us more are not the solution. We must all stand together no matter where we are from or the color of our skin. And Hillary is running on the message of hope and unity that we need.
