Appealing to the mostly black audience, Obama said he's running for president because, "I'm tired of reading about Jena, I'm tired of reading about nooses, tired of reading about Justice Department that doesn't understand justice."

"The only reason I am standing here today is because somebody, somewhere decided to stand up for me when it was hard," Obama said.

What do the people have to say...

For some Harlem residents, Obama's visit wasn't enough to get their support.

"We love Billy ... we would definitely support Hillary Clinton," Harlem resident Herbert Matthews said.

"Obama now, we never seen him out here, for him to come out of the blue because it's primary time and now we need the votes, we're not with that, we need people that are here to support the people here in the community," he said.

It is also said that Hillary overrall has more of the black vote than Barack accross the board...
