NEW YORK (AP) — Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has earned the endorsement of a prominent black civil rights leader and congressman, dealing a setback rival Barack Obama who has his sights set on being the first black president of the United States.
Clinton and John Lewis, a leading rights leader in the 1960s, were scheduled to hold a campaign event Friday in Atlanta to discuss the endorsement.
