A Black Lives Matter activist went to a private event featuring Hillary Clinton in South Carolina, and she demanded that Clinton apologize about inconsistencies in her record about race.

The activist, Ashley Williams, and a colleague contributed $500 to attend the Clinton event, which was held at a private residence and had about 100 guests.

Williams said she and the other person, who was not identified, moved to the front of the crowd and waited until the Democratic presidential candidate appeared. The speakers who were there talked about the officer-involved shooting of Walter Scott, a black man, and said Clinton had a strong record on racial justice, reported The Huffington Post.

As Clinton spoke, Williams stood next to her and held up a sign quoting controversial statements that Clinton had made in 1996 about at-risk youth.
