Ferguson was an important turning point for this country, because it helped ignite conversations about race, and incited real action and change. As Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump come to Washington University to participate in the presidential debates, I would invite them to travel to Ferguson, Missouri, and learn more about the real issues plaguing our country today. As potential leaders of America that are committed to representing all Americans alike, I would hope to see them make this visit a priority”, said Rep.
