.." Hillary Clinton will speak before the NAACP convention in Cincinnati on July 18.

Trump also was invited to address the convention, but he obviously has other plans.

“In these violent and horrifying times, when a new generation is waking to call for police accountability, economic and educational equality and protecting the right to vote for all people, this election marks a significant moral moment for America,” NAACP President and CEO Cornell William Brooks said in a statement.

“We look forward to hearing Secretary Clinton’s priorities and plan to advance our issues of social justice," he said.

Clinton also spoke in Cincinnati on June 27 in her first campaign appearance with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts."
