On Friday, six Democratic presidential candidates spoke to a handful of people at the first-ever "Presidential Forum on Environmental Justice," held at South Carolina State University. More people probably would have attended the event if they knew what "environmental justice" means.

According to a press release from the event organizers, the forum gave "candidates an opportunity to share their policies and visions for the country through an environmental justice lens, and moreover, connect and learn from voters of color whose issues are frequently overlooked. The forum will center the voices of marginalized communities to learn how presidential hopefuls intend to manage climate change, environmental pollution and public health risks that disproportionately affect communities of color."

The event was hosted by the National Black Caucus of State Legislators and around two dozen other national and local organizations. Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Tom Steyer, Marianne Williamson, John Delaney, and Joe Sestak all took questions and participated in the discussion.

So the press and candidate handlers outnumbered students two to one?

I’m surprised that many students showed up.

As soon as an abstract quality like justice has a qualifier, it is no longer justice.

Very interesting that some chose to sit in the back when there are plenty of seats up close. That says to me they are not that interested.

Probably campaign staffers. Each of them was camera recording (formerly known as videotaping).

It doesn't mean anything...it's just supposed to sound good.

I think the 7:15 showing of Charlie’s Angels drew a larger crowd.
