This is the progress Americans have made. No turning back. No Trump.
MICHELLE OBAMA:
Jim Robinson lived in a Friendfield Plantation slave cabin. His great-great-granddaughter lives in The White House.

Michelle Obama, last night:
That is the story of this country. The story that has brought me to the stage tonight. The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done. So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters two beautiful intelligent black young women played with the dog on the White House lawn.
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.
Dont let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great. That somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on Earth.
If the person before you gave up, where would you be?
