Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings struggles to finish his speech amid cheers:
Paul Booth, of Washington, D.C., was on the platform drafting committee. Calls platform visionary. Says the DNC platform needs a mandate from the American people, which will only come through working together. Another push for unity between Clinton and Sanders supporters.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, civil rights leader and Sanders supporter, urges unity again to beat Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Every speaker seems to be shouting to be heard over the crowd, which is loudly cheering and chanting.
Meanwhile outside the convention on the streets of Philadelphia, music is playing and souvenirs are being sold.
