Women are the answer. We have the power to ensure that this country gets on the right path, Keys said while sitting behind a piano. I dedicate this song to the Mothers of the Movement and all mothers who have lost their sons and their daughter to senseless violence.

Until we deal with gun violence in this country, we cant claim home of the brave.

Wheres my Bernie people? Keys later yelled to the crowd.

Wheres my Hillary people? she asked.

Its time to be unified! Keys said before launching into her song In Common.

The audience was then treated to a video montage of photos of past presidents. The video abruptly cut to glass shattering, revealing a live feed of Hillary Clinton figurativelybreaking through the glass ceiling.

I cant believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling, Clinton told the crowd from New York. This is really your victory, this is really your night.

I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next, the Democratic party presidential nominee said, as the camera panned out, showing her in a room surrounded by women and young girls.
