You're going to. From the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, this is Democracy Now, War Peace and the Presidency.

We're breaking with convention.

On behalf of everyone whose story could only

be written in the greatest nation on earth.

I accept your nomination

to be the President of the United States of America. Before a thunderous crowd of 20,000, Vice President Kamala Harris formerly accepted the Democratic Party's presidential

nomination. If she wins, she'll become the first woman, the first black woman, and

the first person of South Asian descent to be elected U.S. President.

We'll get response and look at how Shirley Chisholm and Fanny Lou Hamer help pave the way for this historic moment.

Harris accepted the nomination after a four-day convention

where her campaign refused to allow a Palestinian American

to take this stage, despite repeated demands by uncommitted delegates.

Here is the scandal, my friends.

Here is the scandal.

The scandal is that there are forces within Democratic Party leadership who do not want us to talk about Palestinian human rights.

But that's not sustainable. This is a watershed moment.

All that and more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now. The War and Peace Report.

We are. Democracy Now, Democracy Now. The War and Peace Report.

We are breaking with convention.

I'm Amy Goodman.

Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night here in Chicago.

Harris is the first black woman and person of South Asian descent to be nominated for president by a major party.
