FILE - In this March 13, 2016, file photo, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sings during service at Mount Zion Fellowship Church in Highland Hills, Ohio. Black Baptist churches may not seem like an obvious match for Clinton, a white Methodist from the Chicago suburbs. But the Democratic presidential candidate, who has been criticized for her tentative or even awkward political skills, often seems most at ease in these churches where she has shared her faith for many years and earned a loyal following in the process.
