Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders draws a huge crowd in Los Angeles

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders vowed that he would fight harder than any other presidential candidate to end institutional racism in front of a packed Los Angeles arena, two days after Black Lives Matter protesters derailed one of his rallies.

The wildly enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive campaign stop on Monday night avoided the Vermont senator's previous problems in Seattle.

"There is no president that will fight harder to end institutional racism," said Sanders, who was answered with a deafening roar and chants of "Bernie" from a packed Los Angeles Sports Arena, whose usual capacity is about 16,000 people. (AP)
