Live Drawing The DNC, Day One

Excitement Everywhere

The Democratic Convention began tonight in Chicago!

One of the first notable speakers was Representative Maxine Waters. It was clearly visible right away that this is the party of diversity. It is the party that represents the best of our country.

Then, an emotional moment. Reverend Jesse Jackson was brought to the stage by his two sons and the Reverend Al Sharpton. There were tears in the crowd. Jackson, who ran for President in 1984 and 1988, didn’t speak, but it was clear how much the moment meant to him.

California Senator Laphonsa Butler spoke powerfully about her friend Kamala Harris. Butler was appointed to the Senate by Govenor Gavin Newsom after the death of Diane Feinstein. She is also the second openly gay woman to serve in the Senate.

New York Govenor Kathy Hochul gave a good speech, this below was the best line. Because it’s so true.
