MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is church-hopping across Memphis, Tennessee after her big victory in South Carolina.

She is trying to rally support among black voters ahead of Super Tuesday, taking place in 13 southern states, and will head to Miami that day.

Meanwhile, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, made a campaign stop in Miami Gardens Sunday. He spoke at an event at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex and was joined by U.S. Representative Frederica Wilson, among others.

President Clinton lost his voice cheering for his wife's victory Saturday in the South Carolina primary.

"You're going to have to tolerate me being a little hoarse today. I was in South Carolina losing my voice for my candidate and it was worth it," Clinton said to a cheering crowd.

He told the crowd her Republican rivals don't want her to win the Democratic nomination out of fear she will beat them.

"Everything Hillary accomplished -- as Secretary of State, a Senator, in the White House -- she actually had some good Republicans supporting her," Clinton said. "Now, they start being mean to her when she left the Secretary of State's office because they said 'Oh my goodness, we have to run against her, what will we say.'"

During his speech, President Clinton addressed the recent shooting death of 6-year-old King Carter and honored the mothers of gun violence, including Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin.
