LIVE BLOG: Hillary Clinton Accepts Democratic Nomination

update

Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president Thursday night with a message stressing the need to unite in order to confront the nation's challenges. "It truly is up to us," she said.

Perry ends with her song, "Roar."

Another excerpt from Hillary Clinton's speech: "Every generation of Americans has come together to make our country freer, fairer, and stronger. None of us can do it alone. That's why we are stronger together."

Perry has a patriotic microphone.

She is singing "Rise," which is also a special song for the Rio Olympics, which start August 5.

Perry tells the delegates that both her parents are staunch Republicans, she never finished high school and doesn't have a formal education, but she does have an open mind. She urges everone to vote.

She says, "On November 8th, you'll be just as powerful as any NRA lobbyist. You'll have as much say as any billionaire. Or you can cancel out your weird cousin's vote."

The crowd laughs and cheers.
