WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) Hillary Clinton’s rally at a historically black college was interrupted on Friday by multiple protesters who paraded in front of her stage while chanting “black lives matter.”

Clinton was at Clark Atlanta University to call for criminal justice changes, but before she could outline her proposals the the protesters entered through a door at the back of the school’s gym.

As they began chanting “black lives matter,” Clinton responded: “Yes they do – and I’m gonna talk a lot about that in a minute.”

Influential black Atlanta leaders, including Mayor Kasim Reed and Rep. John Lewis, were seen trying to talk to some of the protesters. As attention scattered, and phones and cameras captured the demonstrators rather than the candidate, Clinton urged them to listen.

“I have some issues and proposals to discuss if my friends will let me speak,” she said.

Members of the Black Lives Matter advocacy group are demanding candidates more forcefully address the racial tensions and policing practices behind the series of shooting deaths of unarmed black men by white law enforcement officers. Protesters have interrupted presidential candidates several times.

“I appreciate their passion,” Clinton said once they had departed. “But I’m sorry they didn’t listen because some of what they’re demanding, I am offering.”
