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.

"Hillary Clinton fights with her head and her heart," he says.

Echoing other speakers, Clyburn says the way to know a person is to see what they've done in life. He then mentions her on social reform and child health issues.

Clyburn, a civil rights leader, said Clinton went to South Carolina after college to help reform the state's justice system.
