Michelle Obama: 'Stand up to those who seek to divide'

First Lady Michelle Obama has appeared on stage at the Hillary Clinton rally in Philadelphia just hours before voting for the next President of the United States begins.

She told crowds ahead of Clinton's appearance that they have the power to "stand up to those who seek to divide us".

"Tomorrow with your vote you can say that this country has always been great.

"That it is the greatest nation on earth, a country where a girl like me from the south side of Chicago whose great, great grandfather was a slave can go to some of the finest universities on earth.

"A country where the biracial son of a single mother from Hawaii and the son of a single mother from Arkansas can both make it to the White House."
