A beaming Bill Clinton, the nation’s 42nd president, took the stage just after 10 P.M. to rousing applause at the Democratic National Convention at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to endorse his wife Hillary Clinton for president.

He delivered a powerful speech that started with the couple’s first days at Yale University, to their courtship, to marriage, to motherhood, to her early work as an advocate in civil rights as a young lawyer at the Children’s Defense Fund and in Arkansas.

He talked about the tenuous relationship between African Americans and police and said that Clinton could help make things better.
