On the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton delivered an impassioned speech as she accepted her party’s nomination for president.

Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother on stage Thursday evening, offering an intimate and personal portrait of her. She shared stories of all the good times her hero was there for her, and also recounted her hardships. "I am here as a proud American, a proud Democrat, a proud mother, and tonight in particular, a very, very proud daughter," Chelsea said.

After a introductory film produced by Shonda Rhimes and featured narration by Morgan Freeman, Hillary’s speech thanked vice president Joe Biden and President Barack Obama for their own speeches earlier in the week. She also thanked Senator Bernie Sanders for invigorating the youth for putting their “hearts and souls into our primary.” “Your cause is our cause,” she said.

She also addressed Donald Trump, speaking against his plans to divide the nation with a wall on surrounding Mexico and punishing illegal immigrants who contribute to our economy. “We will not build a wall; we will build an economy so everyone can get a good job.”

Other parts of her speech touched on how she would create more jobs for American citizens, her plans for solutions such as liberating students of their college debt, and more.

Of course, Twitter was a hotbed for conversation during the speech, and the social media platform tracked the three most mentioned DNC moments, which you can see below.
