Democratic National Convention: Day One

First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a moving speech Monday night at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, urging unification and speaking out against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump‘s hate speech.

Dressed in an elegant blue dress, she walked onto stage to rousing applause and began by reflecting on the first time she spoke at the convention eight years ago, when she talked about why her husband should be president. She also talked about raising her children in the White House.

And then with great political aplomb, she dismantled Trump’s angry and divisive rhetoric, which have come to be hallmarks of his presidential campaign.
